Answer: B) unlikely
Correct Answer: unlikely

Its antonym would be something that means not believable or not likely.
Let’s analyze the options:
• trend – Neutral term; not related to believability. ❌
• unlikely – ✅ Means not likely, not plausible. This is the correct antonym.
• foreseeable – Refers to something that can be predicted; not an opposite of “plausible”. ❌

✅ So, “unlikely” is the best antonym of “plausible” in this context.
