Solution

The correct option is B ascetics
The correct answer is Option B.
HEDONIST is a person who believes that the pursuit of sensual pleasure is the most important thing in life.
ASCETIC is a monk or a hermit who has given up the material pleasure in pursuit of spiritual happiness.
Thus ASCETIC is the opposite of HEDONIST.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
STOIC is a person who endures pain without complaining.
ADVENTURERS is someone who looks for adventure.
SAINTS are monks who have given up the material world.
