A.tranquillity
B.agitation✓ Correct
C.composure
D.placidity
Explanation
Equanimity means calmness or composure, especially in a difficult situation. The opposite would be a state of disturbance or restlessness. Tranquillity, composure, and placidity are all synonyms of equanimity, denoting calmness. Agitation, on the other hand, refers to a state of anxiety, nervous excitement, or disturbance, which is the direct antonym of equanimity. Therefore, 'agitation' is the correct answer.
