Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

The word 'embellish' means to make something more attractive or decorative. An antonym would be a word that means to make something less attractive or to damage its appearance.

Option A: 'Sacrifice' means to give up something valuable, which is not related to appearance. This is not an antonym.

Option B: 'Disfigure' means to make something ugly or unattractive. This is the opposite of 'embellish' in terms of visual appeal. This is a valid antonym.

Option C: 'Forfeit' means to lose or be deprived of something, which is unrelated to appearance. This is not an antonym.

Option D: 'Indict' means to accuse someone formally, which is unrelated to decoration or appearance. This is not an antonym.
