Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Vindicate means to clear someone of blame or suspicion, or to prove something to be right or justified.

Accuse is the direct opposite, as it means to charge someone with an offense or a crime.

Exonerate, Defend, and Justify are all synonyms or closely related in meaning to vindicate, making them incorrect choices for an antonym.
