Answer: B) (b) Fair
The correct answer is Option 2: Fair.
'Impartial' means treating all sides equally without favouring one over another. Its closest synonym is 'Fair,' which also implies even-handed and just treatment of all.

- Prejudiced: also the antonym — means having unfair preconceived opinions.
- Partial: also an antonym — means favouring one side over another. - SSC Selection Post Ph-14 2026 (Matriculation Level) Antonyms
