Solution
Verified by Toppr

Retribution means ‘punishment for a crime‘.
So the opposite of ‘retribution’ has to be an act of forgiving, hence option B is the correct answer because forgiveness means to forgive or the act of forgiving.
Option A is incorrect because ‘compensation’ means a fact or action that removes or reduces the bad effect of something, hence it is not the opposite of punishment.
Option C is incorrect because ‘contempt’ means the feeling that somebody/something does not deserve any respect or is without value, which is not the opposite of punishment.
Option D is incorrect because ‘grudge’ means an unfriendly feeling towards someone, which is not the synonym or the antonym of punishment.
