Catastrophic

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e Fortuitous.

  • "Catastrophic" refers to something causing great damage, suffering, or disaster.
  • "Fortuitous" means happening by chance or luck, often in a favorable way.

  • These two words are antonyms because while "catastrophic" implies a negative and disastrous outcome, "fortuitous" suggests a positive and unexpected outcome.
