Correct answer: D

Explanation:

Alacrity means liveliness, eagerness, or promptness.

  • Avidity — means eagerness or strong desire; this makes it a synonym rather than an antonym.

  • Cheerfulness — refers to a happy or pleasant mood; it does not express the absence of eagerness or liveliness.

  • Sprightliness — means liveliness or animation; this is also a synonym of alacrity.

  • Dullness — means lack of liveliness, interest, or energy; this is the direct opposite of alacrity.

Therefore, dullness is the correct antonym.
