Correct Answer: Apostate


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

An apostate is an individual who deliberately abandons or rejects a previously held religious or political conviction. This term encapsulates the act of renunciation from established beliefs or doctrines, making it precisely applicable to the context described.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • An arsonist is the one who deliberately sets fire to property.
  • An anarchist advocates for a society without government or law.
  • An agnostic is a person who believes in God's existence or the universe's ultimate cause.

Therefore, the correct answer is apostate.
