A Correct answer
Explanation

DISPOSED in this context means inclined, willing, or ready to do something (as in 'disposed to agree'). Its opposite would be someone unwilling or not inclined. 'Disinclined' perfectly captures this opposite meaning. Disrupted, determined, derided, and depressed are different emotional states but not the opposite of disposed.
