The correct answer is A, primordial, because that is the only one which fits.
'Preposterous' means 'absurd'. 'Pretentious' means 'expressing exaggerated importance, worth, or stature'. 'Premonition' means 'forewarning'.
So, the correct answer is A, which means - existing from the beginning of time, very ancient.
