The correct answer is: Inelegant.

Key Points

    • Example: She picked up the dainty teacup with her fingers.
  • "Inelegant" refers to something that lacks grace or refinement; it is clumsy or awkward in appearance or manner. (अशिष्ट)
    • Example: His inelegant dance moves were the talk of the party.
