Detailed Solution

Concept: As we've seen before, antonyms also are called opposite words. Anything that's opposite differs in its meaning completely from the given word. If the word is bravery, its opposite would be a word that suggests a scarcity of bravery i.e., cowardice. Similarly, if the word is dark, its opposite would be a word that suggests the absence of darkness i.e. light.
In the given question, the word is ‘capture’. To capture means to require over possession by use of force or coercion. Now that we all know what the word means, we must find a word whose meaning is opposite in nature to capture. Logically, this suggests that we'd need to find a word which means to interrupt out from captivity or confinement. Out of all the given options, the word escape, which suggests to induce off from one’s captors, is the correct match of this opposite meaning.
Hence, Option 1 is the correct answer.
