Option A - 'Despicable' means deserving hatred. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option B - 'Very rare' is wrong as it doesn't mean praiseworthy. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option D - 'Impractical' means not realistic. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option C - 'Admirable' means commendable. Thus option C is the correct answer.
'The option closest in meaning to the word 'laudatory' is admirable.'
