C) Undecided

Irresolute means as far as I know "undecided"

c) "irresolute" has the root word "resolve," which means solve or decide. The prefix -ir means "not." So the word means unresolved or undecided.

The answer is C) Undecided. The situation has not come to a clear end. So there is not way to correctly ascertain what we are dealing with.
