Correct Answer: flout


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation: The antonym of the underlined word "adhere" is "flout". While adhere means to stick to or follow a rule, flout means to openly disregard or disobey a rule or law.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Observe refers to notice or comply with.
  • Cling refers to holding onto tightly or adhering strongly.
  • Comply refers to conform or obey.

Therefore, the correct answer is flout.
