Correct answer: A
Answer: averse
Explanation: 'Averse' is an adjective that commonly pairs with 'to' to indicate opposition. The phrase 'not averse to' means not opposed or willing to consider something.
Completed sentence: We are not averse to the idea of moving to Mumbai.
averse — Correct: adjective used with 'to'; means opposed or unwilling (so 'not averse to' means willing).
