A Correct answer
Explanation

Melancholy means a feeling of pensive sadness or gloom. Ecstasy represents an intense state of happiness or excitement, making it the direct opposite. Sadness is actually a synonym of melancholy, not an antonym. Fiend means an evil spirit, and bonafide means genuine - neither are opposites.
