Correct Answer: surrender


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation: When considering the meaning of prevail, which implies overcoming, succeeding, or winning, the antonym should convey the idea of yielding, giving up, or admitting defeat. Surrender fits this context, as it signifies the act of yielding or conceding in the face of opposition.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Succeed: This word means to achieve success, accomplish a goal, or attain a desired outcome.
  • Prove: This word refers to demonstrating the truth or validity of something.
  • Control: This word means to manage, direct, or regulate a situation or entity.

Therefore, the correct antonym is surrender.
