The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

"Atrophy" means to waste away, decline or shrink in size or strength over time.
Its opposite is "Flourish", which means to grow vigorously, thrive or prosper.
"Dwindle", "Wane" and "Fade" are all words that describe decline, making them synonyms of atrophy rather than antonyms, so Flourish is the only genuine opposite among the four options given.
