Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Kind.
The word "cruel" refers to being harsh, unkind, or causing suffering. The antonym of "cruel" would be something that describes the opposite behavior—compassionate, gentle, or caring. "Kind" fits this description because it implies being considerate, gentle, and benevolent, which contrasts with the harshness of cruelty.
