Hint:The dictionary meaning of the word emerges means to appear or come out from somewhere. For example : Black ravens emerged from the fog.

Complete answer : Emerges is a verb means come out into view, as from concealment. For example : A man emerged from the shadows.
Now, we will examine all the give options to find out the correct answers :
>Option 'a' Disappear Disappear means to become impossible to see or to find.
  For example : He walked away and disappeared into the crowd of people.
>Option ’b’ Sinks. Sinks means go down or make something go down under the surface of liquid or a soft substance.
 For example : If you throw a stone into water, it sinks.
>Option ‘c’ falls. Fall means to drop down towards the ground.
  For example : He fell off the ladder on the grass.
>Option 'd' Drowns. Drowns means to die in water because it is not possible to breathe, to make somebody die in this way.
  For example : The girl fell into the river and drowned.
>Option 'e' Extinguishes. Extinguish means to cause something to stop burning.
   For example : The fire was extinguished very quickly.
As we have analysed all the given options, we can easily figure out the answer. The antonym of the word "emerges" is "disappear".

Hence, option 'a' is the correct answer.

Note: Don't get confused between "disappear" and "extinguish". 'Disappear' is when something completely gets out of our sight whereas on the other hand, 'extinguish' is to stop something; put an end to something.
