D. Treasure

Answer 1

Hint:Synonyms are words having same or similar meanings and antonyms are words which have opposite meaning.
Find the meaning of the word in the question and then try to fit in an appropriate option as an antonym.

Complete answer:
Let's carefully take a look at the question.
Firstly understand the meaning of the word Liability which means the fact that someone is legally responsible for something. In other terms, it is basically something a person or an organisation or a company owes to someone, usually money which needs to be settled over a period of time.
Liability is something that is supposed to be given or returned after some time. It is not something that is owned.

Option A) Property: This is an incorrect answer as the word means things or possessions belonging to someone which is not the opposite to Liability.

Option B) Asset: This is the correct answer as the meaning of it is any item of the property owned by a person or a company legally and having some sort of market value to it and is not liable to return. This is the opposite meaning of Liabilities.

Option C) Debt: This is an incorrect answer as the word means money belonging to someone which is borrowed and is meant to be returned (same as liability) which is not the opposite to Liability.

Option D) Treasure: This is an incorrect answer as the word means chest or quantity of precious items like gems, jewels, gold, diamonds, silver etc. which is not the opposite to Liability.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note: Always understand the meaning of the word and try to use it in a sentence to get context and then determine the opposite word of that.
