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.

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.

Is crisis is not an appropriate answer for this?

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

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

Adversity refers to a state of persistent or grave misfortune, misfortune is a general term for bad luck or an unfortunate event, and crisis denotes a time of intense difficulty or danger with a potential for a significant outcome.

Some common synonyms of adversity are mischance, misfortune, and mishap. While all these words mean "adverse fortune or an instance of this, " adversity applies to a state of grave or persistent misfortune.

Note: The question asks for the one that best expresses, they might look similar but "Misfortune, " fits best!

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

I agree @Rubiny

Misfortune is the correct answer.

Crisis generally needs to be supported by some description; say, economic crisis, water crisis etc. So it basically a type of problem and needs a descriptive to complete its meaning and takes form of a noun. But, misfortune and adversity both are complete in themselves, and are adverbs (adverb of time).
