The opposite, or antonym, of the word 'LOVE' is being asked here. To understand this, let's look at the meaning of each word listed as possible options:
A) Affection: This word means a gentle feeling of fondness or liking, which is similar to love, so it's not an antonym.
B) Care: This word means having concern for someone or something, which often accompanies love, making it not an antonym either.
C) Like: This word expresses a feeling of being fond of something or someone, similar to love, so it's not the opposite.
D) Hate: This word describes an intense or passionate dislike for someone or something, which is the natural opposite of love because love entails a deep positive feeling, while hate entails a deep negative feeling.
Therefore, the antonym of the word 'LOVE' is 'Hate'. Hence, the correct option is D) Hate.
