D Correct answer
Explanation

Hostile means showing or feeling opposition or dislike; unfriendly. The opposite would be friendly, which means showing kindness and pleasantness. Swift and startling are unrelated to emotional attitude, independence is about autonomy, and antagonistic is actually a synonym for hostile, not its opposite.
