A Correct answer
Explanation

Mercenary as an adjective means motivated by money or financial gain rather than principle or genuine concern. Unselfish is the correct antonym as it means motivated by others' welfare rather than personal gain. Gratuitous, spontaneous, and stingy do not directly oppose the meaning of mercenary.
