Yes, I agree with you, Thanks @Sapna k.

Crisis should be the correct answer it means: a time of great danger or difficulty; the moment when things change and either improve or get worse.

Misfortune: bad luck, or an unlucky event.

Misfortune is the correct answer.

I agree @Rubiny

The 'crisis' is more suitable than 'misfortune' in this case.

Is crisis is not an appropriate answer for this?

I think the crisis is the right one. Others have a different meaning.

Adversity - hard knock, difficult situation.
Misfortune- tough luck, ill luck, bad luck.
Helplessness- a feeling of being unable to manage.
Crisis - a crucial stage or turning point.

Adversity is feeling "Help less".

Example: Unsuccessful people feel bad in the face of Adversity.
