Detailed Solution

  • As we've got seen before, antonyms also are referred to as opposite words. 
  • Anything that's opposite differs in its meaning completely from the given word.
  • Similarly, if the word is narrow, its opposite would be a word that means covering an outsized distance between two given points i.e. broad.
  • In the given question, the word is ‘vindication’. Vindication is an abstract noun. Its meaning is to clear someone of blame or to redeem their honor. 
  • Logically, this suggests that we've got to search out a word whose meaning is accountable to someone in a way that will compromise their honor. 
  • Out of all the given options, the word accusation, which implies, the act of claiming that somebody has done something wrong is the correct match of this opposite meaning.
  • Hence, option B is the correct answer.
