Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is A. Deny.
To confess is to admit to something, especially something wrong or shameful. To deny is to say that something is not true or did not happen.
B. Admit is not the antonym of confess because it means to accept that something is true or that you have done something wrong.
C. Contest is not the antonym of confess because it means to argue against something or to compete in a contest.
D. Contend is not the antonym of confess because it means to argue or to claim something.
