    Answer: C) Excessive

    Answer: c) Excessive
    Explanation:
    The word “nominal” means very small or minimal in amount (नाम मात्र का, नगण्य).
    Its antonym should mean large or more than necessary.
    • “Excessive” means more than necessary or too much (अत्यधिक), which is the opposite of nominal.
    Meanings of other options:
    • Liberal – generous (उदार) → unrelated
    • Adroit – skillful (कुशल) → unrelated
    • Identical – exactly the same (समान) → unrelated
    Only “excessive” correctly serves as an antonym of “nominal.”
