Concept: Public honor means respecting someone publicly.
Option 'A,' accusation, denotes a charge that someone did something wrong.
Punishment, option 'B,' refers to the penalty imposed on someone for engaging in unacceptable behavior.
Ignominy, option 'C,' refers to public shame or disgrace, so it is the antonym of the given word.
Option 'D,' criticism, refers to the disapproval of others who support an individual's perceived mistakes.
We can see from the above options that options 'A,' 'B,' and 'D' are incorrect because they require meanings that do not match the given word.
As a result, the correct answer is 'C' ignominy because it refers to public shame, which is the polar opposite of public honor.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
