C Correct answer
Explanation

'Compulsory' means mandatory, required, or forced by authority or rule. 'Voluntary' means optional, done by choice, or without coercion. These are direct opposites - one implies obligation while the other implies freedom of choice. 'Liberated' and 'Free' are related to freedom but don't specifically capture the opposite of mandatory requirement. 'Willing' describes attitude, not the optional nature of an action.
