Detailed Solution

The opposite of the word- Affirm is ‘Deny’.
To state positively - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of ‘to state positively’ is ‘anticipation of denial or objection’ and this is not antonym of the word affirm. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Deny - is the correct answer because the meaning of deny is ‘state that one refuses to admit the truth or existence of or contradict or refuse or reject or turn down’ and this is the antonym of the word affirm as they have different meanings or they are opposite in meaning to each other. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Aver - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of aver is ‘state or assert to be the case or declare or maintain or claim or assert’ and this is not antonym of the word affirm. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Assert- is an incorrect answer because the meaning of assert is ‘state a fact or belief confidently and forcefully or declare or maintain or claim or assert’ and this is not antonym of the word affirm. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
