   Answer & explanation

   Answer: C) Compulsory

   Explanation:
   The word “Optional” means something that is not mandatory, and can be chosen or skipped based on preference(वैकल्पिक, जिसे करना ज़रूरी न हो).
   The opposite of optional would be something that is mandatory or required, which is exactly what “Compulsory” means.
   • Compulsory – Something that must be done; not a choice
   (अनिवार्य, ज़रूरी ✅)
   ❌ Why other options are incorrect:
   • Elective – Similar in meaning to “optional” (चयनात्मक)
   • Voluntary – Also means optional or by choice (स्वैच्छिक)
   • Arbitrary – Means based on random choice or personal whim (मनमाना); not an antonym here
   ✅ Therefore, the most appropriate antonym of “Optional” is: Compulsory.

Examples

• “Wearing a helmet is compulsory for bikers.”
