Correct Answer: Favourable


Solution : The second option is correct.

Hostile is an adjective that is used to describe a situation of aggression, opposition, or unfriendliness.

Favourable is used to describe a situation that is advantageous, positive, and supportive. Both the words display contrasting meanings, as one describes a negative state, whereas the other describes a positive state, making them antonyms.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Antagonistic means to show opposition or hostility.
  • Accurate means correct, without any mistakes.
  • Handy means skilled with using tools.

Therefore, the correct answer is favourable .
