REPULSION

Options:

complacence

attraction

addiction

disgust

Correct Answer:

attraction

Explanation:
The correct answer is option 2. attraction.
"Repulsion" refers to a feeling of intense dislike or aversion towards something or someone. It implies a strong desire to avoid or distance oneself from the object of repulsion.
On the other hand, "Attraction" is the opposite of repulsion. It refers to a feeling of being drawn to something or someone, often because of its appealing qualities or characteristics. Attraction implies a positive inclination or interest towards the object of attraction.
Therefore, "Attraction" is the most appropriate antonym for "Repulsion" as it represents the opposite condition of being drawn towards rather than being repelled or repulsed.
