Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: married
Celibate means abstaining from marriage or sexual relations, often for religious or personal reasons.
Therefore the opposite in meaning (antonym) is married.
reprobate — an unprincipled or morally condemned person; unrelated to marital status.
profligate — recklessly wasteful or morally licentious; not the opposite of celibate.
prodigal — wastefully extravagant; also not related to marital status.
