please explain (Question: 278478.4 )

why will not the answer be 'c' instead of 'd'.

Question:
DIRECTIONS: Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.


A vexing problem that we are facing is the clamour to open more colleges and to reserve more seats for backward classes. But it will be a sheer folly to expand such facilities recklessly without giving any thought to the quality of education imparted. If admissions are made far more selective, it will automatically reduce the number of entrants. This should apply particularly to new colleges, many of which are little more than 'degree factories'. Only then can the authorities hope to bring down the teacher-student ratio to manageable proportion. What is more, teachers should be given refresher courses every summer to brush up their knowledge. Besides, if college managements increase their library budget, it will help both the staff and the students a great deal.


At the same time, however, it will be unfair to deny college education to thousands of young men and women, unless employers stop insisting on degrees even for clerical jobs. For a start, why cannot the government disqualify graduates from securing certain jobs, say Class III and IV posts? Once the link between degrees and jobs is severed, at least in some important departments, it will make young people think twice before joining college.

What does the phrase ‘vexed problem’ mean?

Options:
A) An extraordinary problem
B) A problem which is being discussed at length
C) A difficult problem
D) An irritating problem
Solution:
Solution: (d) 'Vex' means 'to annoy or worry or irritate'. Thus a vexed problem means an irritating problem.
