Attack

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Defence.

Attack means to aggressively go against something or someone. Defence is the opposite, meaning to protect or resist an attack.

Ambush (a surprise attack) is similar to "attack," not an antonym.

Production (creating something) is unrelated.

Engagement (involvement or participation) doesn't directly oppose "attack."
