Option C

Profane

Solution :

The correct answer is Profane.


Explanation:

The word Sacred means connected with God or a religion, considered holy, or deserving veneration and respect.


Let us analyze the given options to find the most appropriate antonym:

1. Grave: Means serious, solemn, or critical in nature. (Not an antonym of Sacred)

2. Narrow: Means of small width, limited, or restricted. (Not an antonym of Sacred)

3. Profane: Means relating to or devoted to that which is not sacred or biblical; irreverent or disrespectful towards sacred things. This is the direct opposite (antonym) of Sacred.

4. Holy: Means dedicated or consecrated to God or a religious purpose; sacred. (This is a synonym, not an antonym)


Therefore, the most appropriate antonym of Sacred is Profane.
