Sentience

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is Disregard

Sentience is the capacity to feel, perceive, and be aware. Its opposite must denote a lack of feeling or awareness. "Consciousness" and "perception" are near-synonyms, and "appreciation" implies positive awareness — none qualifies as an antonym. Disregard, meaning a lack of attention or concern, conveys the absence of awareness and is therefore the opposite of sentience.
