Answer 1

The correct answer is "Below."

Key Points

The word "above" means higher in position or rank, so the antonym would be a word that means lower in position or rank. (उच्‍चतर स्‍थान में; ऊपर)
- Example: The people in the flat above make a lot of noise.
"Below" means at a lower level or position than something else. (किसी वस्‍तु या व्‍यक्ति से नीचे या निचले स्‍तर पर)
- Example: The temperature fell below freezing during the night.
"Below" is the correct antonym of "above."
The correct answer is Option 4.

Additional Information

"Over" means above and covering, so it is not an antonym. (किसी वस्‍तु से सीधे ऊपर (उसे न छूते हुए))
"After" means following in time or order, so it is not an antonym. (पश्‍चात; बाद में)
"Upward" means moving or directed towards a higher position, so it is not an antonym. (ऊपर की ओर जाने वाला या निर्देशित; ऊर्ध्वाभिमुख)
