Correct Answer: Authentic
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Authentic means real, genuine, or true. It contrasts with the deceptive nature of something that is spurious.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
-
Fake: It is a synonym for "spurious" rather than an antonym. Both words mean not genuine.
-
Stolen: It refers to something that has been taken unlawfully.
-
Splendid: It means magnificent or excellent.
