The correct answer is Option (2) → Cacophonous
Note: The given answer is as per NTA. However, the more likely answer to this question is Smothered due to the reasons given below:
-
Resonant (Adjective) means (of sound) deep, clear, and continuing to sound or vibrating strongly. A resonant sound is full, rich, and prolonged.
-
Smothered (Adjective/Past Participle) means suppressed, stifled, or muffled, especially a sound. A smothered sound is cut short and lacks depth and clarity, making it the opposite of resonant.
Other Options:
-
Resounding is a synonym for resonant, meaning unmistakable, loud, and echoing.
-
Cacophonous means involving or producing a harsh, discordant mixture of sounds. It relates to the quality of the sound (bad) but not its vibration/continuation (it can still be loud).
-
Pulsating means throbbing or vibrating rhythmically. It shares the characteristic of strong vibration with resonant.
