D Correct answer
Explanation

RAVE means to speak or write with wild enthusiasm or praise. PAN means to criticize harshly or give a negative review. The antonym works perfectly: pan is the direct opposite of rave (criticism vs praise). Flak, flop, and snub relate to disfavor but aren't precise opposites. Cant means hypocritical pious talk.
