Correct Answer: Unrepentant


Solution : The correct option is the first option.

Explanation:
Unrepentant means not feeling or showing remorse or regret, which contrasts with penitent, someone who feels remorseful or regretful for his actions.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Sorry: Similar in meaning to a penitent , indicating feelings of remorse or regret.
  • Penniless: Having no money; unrelated to the concept of remorse or regret.
  • Pertinent: Relevant or applicable; not an antonym of penitent .

Therefore, the correct answer is unrepentant.
