DutyAnswer & explanation
Answer: B) Exemption
Answer: b) Exemption
Explanation:
Duty means a moral or legal obligation or responsibility (कर्तव्य).
Its antonym should convey the idea of freedom from that obligation.
• Exemption means being freed from an obligation or duty (छूट, मुक्ति), which is the direct opposite of duty.
Meanings of other options:
• Selection – the act of choosing (चयन) → ❌ unrelated
• Option – a choice or alternative (विकल्प) → ❌ not the opposite of duty
• Loophole – a gap or ambiguity in a rule/law (कानूनी झोल) → ❌ not opposite, only related in some legal contexts
Only “exemption” correctly expresses the opposite of “duty.”
