Correct Answer:
C. Humiliation
The synonym of "Abasement" is "Humiliation". "Abasement" refers to the act of humiliating or degrading someone, or the state of being humiliated. Therefore, "Humiliation" directly matches this meaning, describing the feeling or state of being shamed or disgraced.
- "Elevation" is an antonym, meaning the act of raising something to a higher position or level.
- "Improvement" means the process of getting better, which is unrelated to abasement.
- "Promotion" is also an antonym, meaning the advancement of someone to a higher position or rank.
