C Correct answer
Explanation

"Terse" means briefly and often curtly expressed - concise, brief. "Turgid" means swollen, bloated, or excessively lengthy and complicated - the opposite of concise. This is an antonym pair. "Slim : Obese" has the same relationship - Slim means thin, Obese means excessively fat. They are opposites. The other options don't show antonym relationships: Cow and Pig are both animals, State and Nation are related concepts, and Mountain : Peak is part-to-whole.
