The correct answer is B.

Antonyms are words that have contrasting or opposite meaning. The terms comes from Greek anti ( opposite ) and onym ( name ). There are three types of antonyms:

- complementary, they have no middle ground. Examples: boy-girl, true-false, pass-fail.

- relational, they need a connection between the. Examples: husband-wife, servant-master, borrow-lend,

- graded, they deal with levels of comparison. Examples: young-elderly, wise-foolish, fast-slow.

Many antonyms are built by adding a prefix to a word.

Trivial means of little value or importance.

Imperative means of vital importance, crucial.

They are antonyms because they have contrasting meaning.
