Verified by Toppr

'Watchfulness' means being alert. The question is to find the antonym or the opposite of the given word.
'Negligence' means failure to take proper care of something or simply put, failure due to lack of alertness. Hence option D is the correct answer.
'Supervision' means the action of supervising or controlling someone or something; 'custody' means the protective care or guardianship of someone or something; 'superintendence' means the act or function of superintending or directing. Since none of these words means the opposite of 'watchfulness', options A, B and C are incorrect.
