D Correct answer
Explanation

Jibe means to agree, be consistent, or match. 'Conflict' means to clash or be incompatible, which is the direct opposite. In the phrase 'jibe with', jibe means to be in agreement, so its opposite would be to disagree or conflict. The distractors are incorrect: 'surpass' means to exceed, 'prevent' means to stop, 'qualify' means to meet criteria, and 'collect' means to gather.
