Answer 1

Hint: The given word is 'miniature', which means - A thing that is much smaller than normal, especially a small replica or model. For example seven full-size car bodies on three miniatures were used.

Complete answer:
 In the given question, we have to find out the opposite of the word 'miniature'. It is an adjective that means - very small of its kind. For example children dressed as miniature adults. We have to choose the correct option from among the four given options.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct option :
Option 'a' is Manicure. It means - A cosmetic treatment of the hands involving shaping and often painting of the nails, removal of the cuticles, and softening of the skin. For example: she never missed her weekly hairdo and manicure. It cannot be the correct answer.
Option 'b' is Massive. It means - Large and heavy or solid. For example: a massive rampart of stone. It is a perfect antonym for the given word 'miniature'.
Option 'c' is Missive. It means - A letter, especially along or an official one. For example: yet another missive from the Foreign Office. It is also an incorrect option as it isn't related to the given word at all.
Option 'd' is Masculine. It means - Having qualities or appearances traditionally associated with men. Example: he is outstandingly handsome and robust, very masculine. It is an incorrect option. Hence, option 'b' is the correct option.

Note:
 Antonym is a word opposite in meaning to another. For example Fast is an antonym of slow. All the other options in the given question are plausible distractions.
