  3. not intrested in politics

  4. subversive

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Apolitical means not interested in or concerned with politics. 'Not intrested in politics' (despite the typo) correctly captures this meaning. Antipolitical suggests active opposition, terrorist is unrelated, and subversive means working against established order - which is more political than apolitical.
