Utilitarian

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Unnecessary.

Utilitarian: It is an adjective that relates to the principle of utility, which means that an action or decision should be useful or practical.

The meanings of the options are as follows.

  • Evident : Clearly visible or understood; not related to the meaning of "utilitarian."
  • Necessary : Required to be done or achieved; not an antonym of "utilitarian."
  • Spacious : Having a lot of space; not related to the meaning of "utilitarian."
  • Unnecessary : Not required; surplus; not in accordance with the principle of utility, making it the antonym that contrasts with "utilitarian."

 Hence, the correct option would be Unnecessary.
