Answer: Based on the context of this excerpt from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, the meaning of the word "jocund" is b) lighthearted.

Explanation: The word "jocund" is an adjective and it is used to refer to someone who is lighthearted, that is to say someone who is cheerful and happy. Moreover, in this excerpt, "jocund" is premodifying "travellers"; therefore, it has been used to ascribe a quality/attribute to this noun. The phrase that is part of the context and that most contributes to infer the meaning of "jocund" is "in great spirit".
