Explanation:

To determine the meaning of the root "cand" in "candescent", we analyze the context. The sentence says the "candescent" quality of the room was improved by southern exposure (which brings light). "Glowing" relates to light/brightness, matching the context. "Condition" is unrelated, "pleasant" and "beautiful" don't relate to the root's meaning tied to light.

Answer:

glowing
