Hinder

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

The word "hinder" means to create difficulties for someone or something, to obstruct or delay progress.

The antonym, "aid," means to provide assistance or support to someone or something, to help or facilitate progress.

Therefore, "aid" is the most suitable antonym for "hinder" because it represents the opposite action - assisting or facilitating rather than obstructing or delaying.
