"Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever." – Napoleon Bonaparte.

complete ignorance, forgetfulness, or unawareness
unknown, hidden, unacknowledged
isolated place of comfort
moral corruption

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

"Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever."
Napoleon Bonaparte, in this maxim, used obscurity to mean the quality of being unknown, hidden, unacknowledged – not an acceptable situation for the self-proclaimed Emperor of France.
He was not referring to complete ignorance, forgetfulness, or unawareness (the definition of oblivion), an isolated place of comfort (oasis), nor the quality of moral corruption (depravity).
