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.
