Incorrect AnswerExplanation:

- Not relevant as an antonym. It refers to intelligence, not the moral quality of being kind.
- Option 2: Muddled
- Means confused or disorganized. It doesn't relate to being kind or mean.
- Option 3: Malevolent
- Means having or showing a wish to do evil to others.
- This is the correct antonym of "benevolent."
