Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.
Concede

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

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

The word "concede" means to admit or acknowledge something, often reluctantly. Its antonym is "deny," which means to refuse to admit or acknowledge something.

The other options don't fit:

Surrender: Synonymous with giving up or yielding, similar to conceding.

Battle: Unrelated in this context.

Avow: Means to declare openly, not the opposite of "concede."
