Antipathy

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Love

Love is a suitable option.

A strong dislike or aversion toward something or someone is referred as "Antipathy".

"Love" is the opposite of dislike; it is a powerful emotion of affection or profound liking.

Compared to other options:

"Lament": To "lament" is to convey sorrow or regret; it has nothing to do with liking or disliking anything.

"Fecund": It refers to fertility or productivity rather than hostility.

"Hate": It is not the opposite of antipathy; rather, its meaning is similar.
