Explanation:

The dictionary meaning of a word refers to the literal or denotative of the meaning of it, which is the meaning agreed by the speakers of a language in relation to a word. In some cases, as in the case of the word "crude", words can have multiple meanings and therefore used in multiple contexts and sentences. Although identifying whether a sentence uses correctly one of the multiple definitions a word has might not be a simple task, this can be identified by analyzing whether the word in a sentence can be replaced by one of the definitions of the sentence without changing the meaning of it or creating an illogical, confusing sentence. Considering this, the sentences that use correctly one of the definition of the word crude presented in the question are the first, third and fourth sentence (A, C and D).

In the case of sentence A. "Despite their hard work, the miners were only able to find a small amount of crude minerals in the mine they were excavating",  the word crude can be replaced by the definition of crude number 1 "being unchanged from the original state", considering the minerals found by the miners were natural or in their original state. On the other hand, in the case of sentence C. "The architect drew a crude sketch of his designs to give his clients a general idea of what he wanted to build", the word crude can be replaced by the definition number 4 "being rough in execution" as in this case the sketch seemed to be not finished or rough. Finally, in the case of sentence D. "the audience booed the comedian off the stage because his crude jokes were very inappropriate" the word crude can be replaced with definition number 3 "blunt or offensive" considering the jokes of the comedian are described as inappropriate.

your answer would be: c
