GullibilityAnswer & explanation
Answer: B) Skepticism
Meaning: gullibility = readiness to believe anything; being easily fooled *(भोलापन, जल्दी विश्वास कर लेना)*.
skepticism = a doubting attitude; not accepting claims without proof *(संदेहवाद, शंकालुता)* — the opposite.
Answer: Skepticism
Why the others are wrong.
• innocence = freedom from guilt; simplicity *(मासूमियत, निर्दोषता)* — close to gullibility, not opposite.
• trust = firm belief in someone's honesty *(विश्वास)* — leans the same way as gullibility.
• Naviety (as printed; correct spelling naivety) = lack of experience or judgement *(भोलापन, नादानी)* — a synonym.
*A gull believes; a skeptic doubts.*
