The context suggests that even though the romantic aspect of their relationship had faded away, they still remained together as they valued the investment they had made in each other and the future, indicating that they were committed to the relationship. Therefore, option D, committed, is the best choice. Option A, intimate, and B, passionate, may not fit the context as they suggest an active and intense romantic relationship, which is contrary to the situation mentioned in the sentence. Option C, selective, is not a direct antonym of the keywords in the context and may not add value to the sentence.
