Correct Answer: Honesty

Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Guile refers to cunning, deceitful, or crafty behaviour, often involving clever strategies to deceive or trick others. On the contrary, honesty represents truthfulness, sincerity, and a lack of deceit or deception. It stands in opposition to guile as it embodies the quality of being straightforward and truthful.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

• Deceit means deception or misleading someone by concealing or distorting the truth.
• Treachery means betrayal of trust, typically through disloyalty or deceitful actions.
• Terseness means using few words and being concise or brief in communication, often without elaboration or unnecessary details.
