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