B) Nature
C) Disorder
D) Quality

Answer 1

Hint: Synonyms are the words that are similar in meaning. To avoid the repetition of the word synonyms plays an important role. For example: the synonym of beautiful is lovely, pretty, stunning.

Complete step by step answer:
We have to find the meaning of chaos and the meaning of words that are given in the options. And both the words should have the same meaning or the exact sense.
The meaning of chaos is a state of great disorder; confusion. And we have to find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as chaos.
Option A) Order – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of order is ‘the way in which people or things are arranged in relation to each other’ and this is not a synonym of chaos. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Nature – is an incorrect answer because the meaning is nature ‘all the plants, animals, etc. in the universe and all the things that happen in it that are not made or caused by people’ and this is not synonyms of chaos. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Disorder - is the correct answer because the meaning of disorder is ‘an untidy, confused or badly organized state’ and this is a synonym of chaos as they have similar meaning. As they can be used in place of each other because the meaning of both the words are similar. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option D) Quality – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of quality is ‘feature or status or condition’ and this is not synonymous with chaos. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Thus, the correct option is (C).

Note:
Synonyms are the words that have similar meaning and antonyms are the words that have opposite meaning. So, the antonym of chaos is order. 'Chaos' means a state of total confusion with no order. For example: Snow and ice have caused chaos on the roads. 'Order' means a request to make, supply or deliver food or goods. 'Nature' means the type or main characteristics of something. 'Disorder' means in a state of confusion or untidiness. 'Quality' means how good or bad something is. Thus, option C is the correct synonym for the given word.
