Solution

The correct option is C Excitement

Antonyms are words that have contrasting, or opposite, meanings.

Choice C is correct. Ennui means 'feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction' the opposite being excitement meaning 'eagerness’. For example: The boy waited in great excitement for his father to arrive. Choice A means 'poor'. Choice B means ‘scarce’. Choice D means 'brave'. Choice A, B, and D are wrong.
