Answer 1

The correct answer is "Cryptic."

Key Points

"Obvious" means easily noticeable or understood. (जो आसानी से दिखाई दे या समझ में आए; स्‍पष्‍ट)
- Example: For obvious reasons, I’d prefer not to give my name.
So, its antonym will be a word that means difficult to understand or obscure.
The word "cryptic" means having a meaning that is mysterious or obscure. (गुप्‍त अर्थ वाला; रहस्‍यमय)
- Example: I got a cryptic text message from Sam.
Hence it is the most appropriate antonym for obvious.
The correct answer is Option 4.
