Correct Answer: Separation


Solution : The correct option will be the fourth option.

The word "tryst" typically refers to a secret meeting or rendezvous, often associated with lovers. In the context of the sentence, the person is going back to the tree where a significant or secretive meeting took place. The antonym "separation" implies moving away or apart from someone or something, which contrasts with the idea of coming back to a location associated with a meeting or rendezvous.

The meanings of the other words are:

Rendezvous: It means a prearranged meeting or gathering.
Engagement: It denotes a formal agreement to get married or involvement in an activity.
Date: It denotes a social or romantic appointment or a day of the month.

Therefore, separation provides a suitable antonym to convey the opposite meaning in this context.
