Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: denial
Why:
"Approval" means acceptance or agreement; the clearest opposite is a word meaning refusal or rejection.
attention — focusing the mind; not an opposite of approval.
distraction — something that diverts attention; not an opposite of approval.
perspective — a way of viewing something; not an opposite of approval.
denial — refusal or rejection; this is the direct opposite of approval.
Therefore, the most opposite word to "approval" is "denial."
