Correct Answer: Tarnished


Solution : The third option is correct.

The term unsullied in the sentence means pure, untarnished, or not stained. It is used to describe a safety record that is clean and free from blemishes. The antonym that best fits to replace unsullied is tarnished, which means to be stained or soiled.

The meanings of the other words are as follows:

Undefiled: It means pure, untainted, and free from impurities.
Impeccable: It means without fault or error, flawless.
Perfect: It means without flaws or defects, having all desired qualities.

Therefore, the correct answer will be tarnished.
