C Correct answer
Explanation

WORTHY means deserving, meritorious, or having value. Its opposite would be undeserving or lacking merit. 'Undeserved' is the closest antonym, though it's more commonly used as an adjective (undeserved praise) whereas worthy is a noun/adjective. Still, it captures the opposite concept best. In abeyance, occupied, turned down, and made whole don't represent the opposite.
