DecadentAnswer & explanation
Answer: C) Virtuous
Answer: c) Virtuous
Explanation:
The word “decadent” means characterized by moral or cultural decline (पतनशील, भ्रष्ट).
Its antonym should mean morally good or righteous.
• “Virtuous” means having high moral standards (धार्मिक, नैतिक रूप से सही), which is the opposite of decadent.
Meanings of other options:
• Enflamed – set on fire or angry (जलाया हुआ, क्रोधित) → unrelated
• Fluorescent – glowing or bright (चमकीला) → unrelated
• Muffled – muted or softened sound (धीमा या दबा हुआ) → unrelated
Only “virtuous” correctly serves as an antonym of “decadent.”
