Here’s the thing, let’s break it down:

- The underlined word is clandestine, which means something done in secret, often because it’s not allowed or is meant to be hidden.

- Option 1: secret – That’s the same as clandestine, not its opposite.

- Option 2: covert – Covert also means hidden or undercover. So, again, it’s similar, not an antonym.

- Option 3: sneaky – Sneaky implies doing things in a secretive way. Still too close to clandestine.

- Option 4: public – That’s the only word here that means the opposite: open, out in the open, for everyone to see. That’s as far as you can get from clandestine.

So, the correct answer is:

Option 4: public
