Solution

The closest antonym for the word "amenable" is D. Averse.

Here's why:

Amenable generally means being open and responsive to suggestions, or being willing to comply.

A. Apathetic means showing or feeling no interest, enthusiasm, or concern, which is not necessarily the opposite of being open or responsive. B. Affable means being friendly, good-natured, or easy to talk to, which is not the opposite of amenable. C. Adept means being very skilled or proficient at something, which is also not the opposite of amenable.

D. Averse, however, means having a strong dislike or opposition to something, which can be considered as the opposite of being open or willing to comply, thus making it the closest antonym to amenable among the options.
