- Bpart of
- Caccepted
- Drejected
Explanation
'Expunged' means erased or removed from the record — its opposite is 'accepted' (the allegations were upheld rather than wiped out). 'Erased' is a synonym of expunged, 'rejected' also means thrown out (close to expunged in effect), and 'denied' is a partial synonym — only 'accepted' reverses the sense. Hence (C) accepted is correct.
