Correct Answer:
Option A —
Vengeance
Leniency means the quality of being more merciful or tolerant than expected (forgiveness or mildness). An antonym is a word with the opposite meaning.
• Vengeance (punishment inflicted or retribution exacted for an injury or wrong) serves as the best opposite here, as it implies a desire for strict punishment or revenge rather than mercy.
• Altruism and Philanthropy relate to selfless concern for others, while Commiseration means sympathy, making them closer to synonyms or unrelated terms.
