The antonym of the word protagonist is ___.
Answer: B
The antonym of protagonist is antagonist.
A protagonist is the leading character of a story, or a leading supporter of a cause. Its opposite is the antagonist, the character or person who opposes the protagonist. The two words share the Greek root agonistes, a contestant: pro- is the first contestant and anti- the one against.
The other words only look similar. An agnostic holds that the existence of God cannot be known, an arsonist deliberately sets fire to property, and an anarchist rejects all government. None of them is the opposite of a central figure.
