EnglishAntonyms
- Aexpired
- Bliving
- Cinjured
- Dpromoted
Explanation
'Deceased' means dead — a person who has died. The required antonym is therefore a word meaning alive, which is 'living'. 'Expired' is not the opposite here: it is a formal synonym of deceased (as in 'he expired last night'). 'Injured' and 'promoted' are unrelated in meaning. Hence option (B) living.
