Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4, i.e. apathy.

  1. Appreciation means recognition and enjoyment of the good qualities of someone or something.
  2. Warmth means the quality, state, or sensation of being warm; moderate heat.
  3. Sympathy means feelings of pity and sorrow for someone else's misfortune.
  4. Apathy means a lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern.

Option 4 bears a meaning that is opposite to the meaning of the given word 'empathy: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another'. Hence, 'apathy' is the correct answer.
