Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word. Riposte
Compliment
Compliment is correct.
A riposte is a quick, sharp, often witty reply made in answer to criticism or an insult; it is a retaliatory retort.
Its opposite among remarks is a compliment, which is a polite expression of praise or admiration rather than a counter-attack.
Retort means almost the same as riposte, so it is a synonym, not an antonym. Apology is an expression of regret, which differs from a riposte but is not its direct opposite as a remark. Confirmation means a statement that something is true, which is unrelated to the hostile, retaliatory sense of riposte.
