Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Withdraw.

  • Withdraw is a suitable option.
  • Proceed: means to continue or move forward in a particular direction or process.
  • Withdraw means to remove oneself or pull back from a position or process, which is the opposite of continuing or moving forward.
  • Thus, "Withdraw" is the correct antonym for "Proceed."
  • Compared to other options.
    • Accidental: Unintentional; not related to the idea of going ahead or backwards.
    • Local: Related to a particular region; unrelated as an antonym for "proceed."
    • Wide: It is a term used to describe extent or breadth; it is not an antonym for "proceed."
