Hint: Superannuated means belonging to a superannuation scheme. For example, "she is not superannuated and has no paid holiday.
Synonyms are the words that have the same or similar meaning and to avoid repetition synonyms are used. For example, the synonym of happiness is content and joyful.
We must find the meaning of Superannuated and the meaning of words that are given in the options. And both the words should have the same meaning or the exact sense.

Complete answer:
Option A) Accepted – This option is incorrect because Accepted" refers to being generally believed or recognized to be valid or correct. This is different from what is given; hence this option is incorrect.

Option B) Senile – This option is incorrect because Senile" refers to having or showing the weaknesses or diseases of old age, especially a loss of mental faculties. This is different from what is given; hence this option is incorrect.

Option C) Outmoded -This option is correct because “Outmoded" refers to being old-fashioned. This is closest to the meaning of the given word; hence this is the correct option.

Option D) Experienced - "Experienced" refers to having gained knowledge or skill in a particular field over time. This is different from what is given; hence this option is incorrect.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note:Keep in mind to read the question correctly and do not mark the antonym instead of synonym. Antonyms are opposite in meanings. An antonym of Superannuated is antiquated, dated. All the options are plausible distractions so one must carefully understand the meaning of all options.
