- C. absorptivity
- D. incredulity
Answer
A. iniquity
Step-by-step solution
The word 'righteousness' refers to the quality of being morally right or justifiable. The word 'iniquity' means immoral or grossly unfair behaviour, which is the exact opposite of righteousness. 'Ingenuity' means cleverness or inventiveness. 'Absorptivity' is a physical property related to absorption. 'Incredulity' means the state of being unwilling or unable to believe something. Therefore, the correct antonym is 'iniquity'. Answer: iniquity
