Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Quivery, Steady

Explanation:

The meanings of the given words are as follows:
Tremulous: shaking or quivering slightly 

 

Stringent: (of regulations, requirements, or conditions) strict, precise, and exacting

 

Garrulous: excessively talkative, especially on trivial matters
Quivery: shaking or trembling slightly
Steady: firmly fixed, supported, or balanced; not shaking or moving
Conjunctive: relating to or forming a connection or combination of things
Desist: stop doing something; cease or abstain

 

Abstain: restrain oneself from doing or enjoying something
Defer: put off (an action or event) to a later time; postpone
Terse: sparing in the use of words; abrupt

Therefore, it can be observed that option B i.e. ‘quivery, steady’ forms a synonym-antonym pair of ‘tremulous’.
