stable one.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Mutable i.e. option 4.
- "Stable" refers to something that is steady and not likely to change.
- Therefore, "mutable," which means something is subject to change or is not stable, is the antonym that best fits here.
- "Lucrative" means profitable, "permanent" means lasting indefinitely, and "durable" means able to withstand wear and tear, none of which directly oppose the idea of stability.
