Step 1: Understand the meaning of "Guilty."
"Guilty" means having committed a crime or wrongdoing. The antonym would refer to someone who is not guilty, or not responsible for wrongdoing.
Step 2: Analyze each option.
- (A) Irrelevant: Incorrect. "Irrelevant" means unrelated or not important, which is not the opposite of "guilty."
- (B) Innocent: Correct. "Innocent" is the direct antonym of "guilty," meaning not responsible for a crime or wrongdoing.
- (C) Immature: Incorrect. "Immature" refers to lack of maturity and has no relation to guilt.
- (D) Ignorant: Incorrect. "Ignorant" means lacking knowledge, which is not the opposite of being "guilty."
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct antonym of "guilty" is "innocent."
