   ArudeBsympatheticCapatheticDmodest
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: B) sympathetic

   Correct Answer: sympathetic
   Explanation:
   Mean in this context means unkind or cruel (क्रूर / कठोर).
   The antonym is Sympathetic, which means kind, understanding, and caring towards others (दयालु / सहानुभूतिपूर्ण).
   rude – impolite (असभ्य) – this is similar to "mean", not its opposite
   apathetic – showing no interest or concern (उदासीन)
   modest – humble (विनम्र) – not a direct opposite of "mean"
   Only Sympathetic is the true antonym of Mean in this context.
