English

The word "fortuitous" primarily means "happening by chance" or "accidental." However, it often carries a positive connotation of something happening by a lucky chance. While "accidental" is a close synonym emphasizing chance, it lacks the positive nuance that "fortuitous" can imply. "Lucky" is also a valid synonym because "fortuitous" is commonly used to mean "fortunate" or "lucky" in modern usage, despite some traditional objections. "Rich" and "prearranged" are unrelated to the meaning of "fortuitous." Therefore, "lucky" (A) is a better synonym than "accidental" (B) in this context.
