Let's match the words from List - I with their antonyms from List - II:

(A) evident - (II) obscure: Evident means clear or obvious, so its antonym would be obscure, meaning unclear or hidden.

(B) compassion - (III) cruelty: Compassion refers to empathy or kindness, whereas cruelty is its opposite, meaning brutality or indifference.

(C) lure - (IV) repel: Lure means to attract or entice, so its antonym would be repel, meaning to drive away or deter.

(D) native - (I) alien: Native refers to something or someone belonging naturally to a place or group, while alien means foreign or unfamiliar.
