Correct answer: A
Answer: Friendly
Explanation: "Hostile" means aggressive, unfriendly, or antagonistic. The opposite of hostile is "friendly," which means kind, pleasant, and supportive toward others.
Why the other choices are not correct:
"Generous" means willing to give or share; it is unrelated to being the opposite of hostile.
"Powerful" refers to strength or influence and does not describe friendliness versus hostility.
"Cruel" means intentionally causing pain or suffering; it is similar in negativity to hostile rather than being its antonym.
