C Correct answer
Explanation

An ancestor is a person from whom one is descended (parent, grandparent, etc.). Progeny means descendants or offspring - the direct opposite in the family lineage direction. Founder and origin are related to starting something, not opposite in meaning. Parent is actually a type of ancestor, not an antonym.
