Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
**The reasoning**
An **antonym** means the opposite of a word. "Transparent" literally means you can see through something — like clear glass or water. When something is transparent, light passes through it easily and you can view what's on the other side.
The opposite of this is **"opaque"** — something you *cannot* see through at all. Think of a thick wall, wood, or metal. Light cannot pass through opaque materials. So transparent ↔ opaque are perfect opposites.
**Why the wrong options tempt you**
- **Clear** is actually a *synonym* (same meaning) of transparent, not an opposite
- **Honest** is transparent used figuratively (being "transparent" with your intentions), but the question wants the direct opposite of the core meaning
- **Visible** means "can be seen" — but transparent things are also visible! This isn't the opposite
**Quick takeaway**
If you can see *through* it, it's transparent; if you *cannot* see through it at all, it's opaque — they're perfect opposites like hot and cold.
