Correct Answer: Inactive


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Diligent is used to describe someone who is hardworking and shows careful and persistent effort in their work, whereas inactive refers to a lack of activity or movement, and it describes something or someone who is not hardworking or engaged in action, thus making it the correct antonym.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Moderate means neither too much nor too little of something.
  • Earnest means serious and determined.
  • Bustling is full of lively activities.

Therefore, the correct answer is inactive.
