• A. Uncompromising
• B. Basic
• C. Thorough

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Superficial

We would be choosing the word opposite to the meaning of "Radical" from the options given below

Radical means basic, new and different from the obvious. Thus, the opposite would be something not complete or something that is just the obvious

Now, if we look into the given options,

Uncompromising means not willing to change a decision

Basic relates to the easiest part of something. It is nearly synonymous to radical

Thorough means marked in full details. It is nearly synonymous to radical

Superficial means over the surface or sometimes which states the obvious. It is the correct option

Option D is correct
