a rational man might need, but in addition there were a box of books—big, fat books, of which some were just in an incomprehensible handwriting—and a dozen or more crates, boxes, and cases, containing objects packed in straw, as it seemed to Hall, tugging with a casual curiosity at the straw—glass bottles.

Answer:

D). Difficult or impossible to understand or comprehend:  Unintelligible.

Explanation:

The word 'incomprehensible' denotes 'anything beyond understanding or something that is unable to be explained or comprehended.'

In the given sentence, the most appropriate meaning of this word would be 'unintelligible' which implies 'difficult or indeed impossible to understand.' It connotes 'an unclear or inexplicable idea.' The synonyms of the word could be 'indecipherable, inarticulate, incoherent, impenetrable, etc.' Another sentence using the word could be:

'His sudden anger at the party was incomprehensible(beyond understanding) to the entire crowd out there.'

Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
