Everyone enjoyed the humorous story.

Answer: (c)

'Humorous' means 'fun-filled' in the sentence; its antonym would be 'boring'. Both 'humorous' and 'boring' are in reference to reader response. The sentence means that readers find the story full of fun (or 'boring' as the antonym). But 'sad' is incorrect here as a sad story would refer to the nature of the story itself.
