The correct answer is: A. Accord : Consent
Loyalty and disloyalty are opposites. Accord and consent are also opposites. Accord means agreement, while consent means permission. Diligence and laziness are not opposites. Diligence means hard work, while laziness means idleness. Code and encode are not opposites. A code is a system of symbols, while encode means to put something into code. Pain and jealousy are not opposites. Pain is a physical or emotional suffering, while jealousy is a feeling of envy.
In the original pair of words, loyalty is the opposite of disloyalty. This means that if someone is loyal, they are not disloyal. Similarly, if someone is in accord, they are not in dissent. This is the same relationship that exists between the words accord and consent. If someone gives their consent, they are agreeing to something. Similarly, if someone is in accord, they are agreeing with something.
In the other options, the relationships between the words are not the same as the relationship between the words loyalty and disloyalty. For example, diligence and laziness are not opposites. Someone can be both diligent and lazy. Similarly, code and encode are not opposites. Someone can both code and decode something. Pain and jealousy are not opposites. Someone can feel both pain and jealousy.
