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

Explanation

‘Dormant’ describes being temporarily inactive or in a state of rest, as though sleeping, so its opposite is ‘active,’ meaning currently functioning or operating, as in ‘The volcano, dormant for centuries, suddenly became active again.’ The other three options are all synonyms of ‘dormant,’ making ‘active’ the correct antonym.
