The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Climax.
Given word: Nadir
Meaning: The lowest point in the fortunes of a person or organization; the worst or most unsuccessful moment.
Example: After losing his job and falling ill, he felt he had reached the nadir of his life.
Antonym: Climax
Meaning: The most intense, exciting, or important point of something; the peak or highest point.
Example: The story reached its climax in the final confrontation between the hero and the villain.
Meaning of the other words:
