Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Blissful.
Blissful is a correct antonym of Joyless.
The word "blissful" denotes an extreme state of happiness or joy, as compared to "joyless," which denotes a lack of happiness or joy.
Compared to other options;
"Beaming" may also mean radiant or happy, although it usually refers to a grin or other physical expression rather than the state of overall happiness.
"Rapt" refers to a state of total fascination or absorption, unrelated to happiness.
"Dubious" denotes uncertainty or doubt; it is not the opposite of "joyless."
