Hint : “Difficult to believe” and “such” together suggest that the second missing term will mean the opposite of “sophisticated.”

Correct Answer: C

Here's Why: The phrase “through the centuries” suggests that the first missing term will describe how the “sophisticated piece of technology” developed over a period of time. The word “such” indicates that the second missing term will contrast with “sophisticated.” Only “evolved . . a quaint” satisfies both requirements.
