   Answer & explanation

   Answer: A) Relax

   Explanation:
   Word: Clench
   • Clench means to close tightly, especially with force or tension — often used for fists, jaws, or teeth (ज़ोर से भींचना).
   ✅ Why "Relax" is correct:
   • Relax means to loosen, release tension, or become less tight or stiff (ढीला छोड़ना, शिथिल करना).
   • So, it's the opposite of "clench".
   ✅ Example:
   • He clenched his fists in anger. ❌
   • He relaxed his hands after the fight. ✅
   ❌ Why other options are incorrect:
   • Tighten – ❌ Same meaning as clench; not an antonym
   • Hold – ❌ Neutral verb; could imply gripping, not necessarily opposite
   • Clasp – ❌ Similar to clench; means to grip or hold tightly
   ✔️ Final Answer: Relax ✅
