Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is B. punishment.
An amnesty is a pardon extended by the government to a group or class of people, usually for a political offense. It is the opposite of punishment.
Hostility is a feeling of hatred or ill will towards another person or group. It is not the opposite of amnesty.
Immunity is the state of being protected from something, such as a disease or legal action. It is not the opposite of amnesty.
Acquittal is a judgment that a person is not guilty of a crime. It is not the opposite of amnesty.

- In 1990, the South African government granted amnesty to people who had committed crimes during the apartheid era.
