Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

'Retrograde' means moving backward, directed backward, or retreating. It can describe physical backward movement or figurative regression to an earlier or less developed state. In astronomy, it refers to the apparent backward motion of planets. 'Backward' is the correct answer as it directly means moving in the reverse direction. The other options (Direct, Marked, Serious) don't relate to the meaning of reverse or backward movement.
