“Withered” is a word that, when used as an adjective, means wrinkled due to being very old, so we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like wrinkled or old. That means that “youthful” cannot be the correct answer, because “youthful” means young, making it an antonym, not a synonym, of “withered.” “Wizened,” however, is an adjective that means shriveled from being old, and because “wizened” is the answer choice closest in meaning to “withered,” “wizened” is the correct answer.
