Answer Details

The opposite of the underlined word "derogatory" is "complimentary." If Abdul is fond of his teacher despite making derogatory remarks about him, it means that he likes his teacher despite saying negative or critical things about him. Therefore, the option that expresses a positive opinion about the teacher is the opposite of "derogatory." "Complimentary" means giving praise or admiration, so it is the opposite of "derogatory" in meaning.
