What is the antonym (opposite) of the word ‘Legitimate’?

Explanation

‘Legitimate’ describes something conforming to the law or accepted standards, so its opposite is ‘unlawful,’ meaning not permitted by law, as in ‘The legitimate business was investigated after suspicions of unlawful activity.’ The other three options are all synonyms of ‘legitimate,’ making ‘unlawful’ the correct antonym.
