PASSIVEAnswer & explanation
Answer: B) Inactive
Meaning: passive = accepting what happens without taking action or responding *(निष्क्रिय, उदासीन)*.
Inactive = not taking part in any activity *(निष्क्रिय, अक्रिय)* — the same idea.
Why the others are wrong.
#B Active = busy, taking action *(सक्रिय)* — the antonym, the classic trap.
#B Hungry = wanting food *(भूखा)* — no link with the meaning.
#B Helpful = ready to give help *(सहायक, मददगार)* — no link with the meaning.
Answer: Inactive
*In synonym questions the antonym is almost always planted among the options — read the word before you tick.*
