Correct Answer: Cruel


Solution : The first option is correct.

Beneficent: This term describes someone or something that is kind, generous, and inclined to do good or charitable acts.
Cruel: The antonym of "beneficent," "cruel" represents the opposite idea. Cruelty involves a lack of kindness or mercy, and it often implies a disposition to inflict suffering or harm on others.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Lethargic: Lacking energy or enthusiasm; sluggish.
  • Soft: Having a gentle or yielding consistency; not hard or rigid.
  • Friendly: Characterized by warmth and goodwill; amicable.

Therefore, the correct answer is cruel.
