Detailed Solution

  • The word ‘ palpably ’ refers to a good that's clear and veritably conspicuous. 
  • Option A: empirically- The word ‘ empirically ’ refers to ‘ by means of observation or experience rather than a proposition or pure sense ’. This has a veritably different meaning from the word ‘ palpably ’. So, this is an incorrect option. 
  • Option B: obviously- The word ‘ obviously ’ refers to ‘ in a way that's fluently perceived or understood ’. This is analogous to the given word, but it's still not the exact meaning of the given word. So, this is an incorrect option. 
  • Option C: tentatively- The word ‘ tentatively ’ refers to a good that's ‘ subject to farther evidence; not surely ’. This has the exact contrary meaning to the given word. So, this is an incorrect option. 
  • Option D:  markedly- The word ‘ markedly ’ refers to the following ‘ to an extent which is easily conspicuous ’. This word has the exact meaning of the given word ‘ palpable ’. So, this is the correct option.
  • Hence, option D is the correct answer.
