Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. broad.

The underlined word is “narrow”, which means not wide or restricted in width.

The opposite (antonym) of 'narrow' is 'broad', which means wide or spacious.

Option-wise analysis:
straight
– refers to direction or alignment, not width.

slender – means thin or slim, often used for people or objects, but not a direct antonym of 'narrow'. 

broad – means wide or spacious, the correct antonym of 'narrow'. 

mild – refers to gentleness in behavior or climate, unrelated to physical dimensions.
