Choose the word from the options given below that is opposite in meaning to the given underlined word:

FOE

Friend

The correct answer is Option (3) → Friend

"Foe" means an enemy or adversary, and its opposite is "friend," someone who offers support and goodwill.

Option (1) → Rival: A competitor, often in a similar field—still an opponent, not the opposite of "foe."
Option (2) → Opponent: Someone who is against you in a contest or conflict—similar in meaning to "foe."
Option (4) → Contender: A person competing to win something—again, similar to "foe," not opposite.
