Correct answer: D

Key idea: identify which pair does not consist of synonyms.

  • aversion, dislike — These are synonyms: both mean a strong feeling of not liking something.

  • luminous, radiant — These are synonyms: both describe emitting or reflecting light; they convey brightness.

  • plunder, loot — These are synonyms: both mean to steal goods, often during war or disorder.

  • yielding, resistant — These are not synonyms: "yielding" means giving way, being flexible or compliant, while "resistant" means opposing or not giving in; they are essentially opposites.

Conclusion: The correct pair is yielding, resistant because they do not share the same meaning and are antonyms.
