Explanation:

- Abatement means a reduction or decrease in the intensity or severity of something, such as noise or a problem.

- Option 1: Subsidence - This refers to the gradual caving in or sinking of an area or land. It often suggests a reduction or diminishing, so it's similar to abatement.

- Option 2: Ebbing - This means a gradual decrease or decline, like the receding of the tide. It's another word that suggests a reduction, akin to abatement.

- Option 3: Accumulation - This refers to a buildup or increase in quantity, the opposite of reduction, making it the correct antonym for abatement.

- Option 4: Mitigation - This is the act of making something less severe or serious. It aligns with the meaning of abatement, not its opposite.
