Which word is most opposite of benevolent?

• A. Malevolent
• B. Generous
• C. Kind
• D. Benevolent

Answer: (A)

Benevolent describes someone who is well‑meaning and kind toward others. The best opposite is malevolent, which means having malicious intent or wishing to cause harm. Generous and kind are both traits that align with benevolent, not oppose it, and the remaining option is the same word, which cannot be an opposite. So the word that is most opposite is malevolent.
