    PERMANENT

    Answer & explanation

    Answer: D) Temporary

    Meaning: permanent = lasting for ever or for a very long time, not expected to change *(स्थायी)*.

    Its opposite is temporary = lasting only for a limited time *(अस्थायी)*.

    Why the others are wrong.
    #B lasting = continuing for a long time *(टिकाऊ, स्थायी)* — a synonym, not an antonym.
    #B eternal = without beginning or end *(शाश्वत, अनंत)* — even stronger than permanent.
    #B stable = firmly fixed, not likely to change *(स्थिर)* — also on the same side as permanent.

    Answer: Temporary

    *Three options point the same way as the given word — in an antonym item that is the clearest sign they are synonyms.*
