Explanation:

The word "arbitrary" means based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system. So, we need to check which option aligns with this meaning.

• The second option "made in a random way" matches the definition of "arbitrary".
• The third option about rewarding people who don't deserve it is not related to the meaning of "arbitrary".
