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

Explanation

‘Zealous’ describes having or showing great energy and enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or goal, so its opposite is ‘apathetic,’ meaning showing little or no interest or concern, as in ‘The zealous volunteers contrasted sharply with the apathetic committee members who rarely attended meetings.’ The remaining options are all synonyms of ‘zealous,’ making ‘apathetic’ the correct antonym.
