Option b “noble” means having or showing fine personal qualities or high moral principles and ideal; or possessing outstanding qualities. This is not the opposite of the word “modern”. Thus, option ‘b’ is incorrect.

Option c “strife” means a vigorous or bitter conflict. This is unrelated to the given word and hence, option ‘c’ is invalid.
