Correct Answer: heedless


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

Discreet means careful and cautious. Heedless means not paying attention, the opposite of being careful. Hence, heedless is the antonym.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Careful : Taking care to avoid mistakes or harm; exercising caution.
  • Harmless : Not causing harm; safe.
  • Tactful : Having or showing tact, which is the ability to deal with others in a sensitive and considerate way, avoiding offence.
