Answer 1

The word "dispose" is not an antonym of another word created by adding the prefix "dis-".

Key Points

"Displease" is the opposite of "please".
"Disorganise" is the opposite of "organise".
"Dispossess" is the opposite of "possess".
However, "dispose" doesn't work the same way.
There is no word "pose" that carries a meaning which would be negated by "dispose".
Dispose generally means to get rid of something or to deal with a matter conclusively.

So, the answer is 2) Dispose.
