A Correct answer
Explanation

OCCLUDED means blocked, obstructed, closed, or shut off (commonly used for blood vessels, passages, or light). Its direct opposite is something that is open, clear, or free from obstruction. 'Unobstructed' perfectly captures this meaning. Intersecting, extrapolated, diminished, and extended don't represent the true opposite of blocked/closed.
