The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The question presents two analogies, each depicting a progression of intensity or depth in a specific context. 
- In the first analogy  {charm} -------- {enamor} ----------- {bewitch} , the progression shows increasing levels of attraction or captivation, where "bewitch" represents the strongest intensity. 
- The second analogy {bored} ________ ------ {weary}  mirrors this concept, reflecting increasing levels of disinterest or fatigue. 
The word jaded aptly fits between bored and weary, as it denotes a state of tiredness or overexposure that transitions into weariness. This progression aligns perfectly with the given pattern. Final Answer: {(1) jaded}
