Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (B) bright

Explanation

Despite signals a contrast between poor performances and favorable prospects. Bright means promising and supplies that contrast, B. Slim or uncertain would agree with the poor-performance expectation instead of contrasting with it; obvious does not express the intended likelihood.
