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 the southern exposure". Southern exposure typically brings light, so we relate this to the options. The root "cand" (from Latin "candere") means to glow or shine. Among the options, "glowing" matches this meaning. "Pleasant" refers to a nice feeling, "condition" is a state, and "beautiful" is about appearance, none of which relate to light/shine as "glowing" does.

Answer:

glowing
