Correct Answer: Loss


Solution : The fourth option is correct.

Acquisition typically refers to obtaining, gaining, or acquiring something, while loss stands as its antonym, signifying the opposite—when something is diminished, gone, or no longer in possession, thereby contrasting with the idea of acquisition.

In the sentence, the players were demoralised after facing a loss, indicating a situation contrary to gaining or acquiring something, making loss the appropriate antonym for acquisition .
