Explanation
'Abomination' means something causing disgust, hatred, or loathing. The antonym must mean love or admiration. Option (c) 'adoration' means deep love and respect, the opposite of abomination. Options (a) 'abhorrence' and (d) 'detestation' are synonyms (hatred), while (b) 'termination' means ending. The system of Sati was condemned; adoration would praise it. Hence option C is correct.
