What is the opposite of "sedentary"?

Active
Stationary
Relaxed
Unmoving

The correct answer is: Active

The term "sedentary" refers to a lifestyle characterized by little physical activity or movement. This contrasts directly with the concept of being "active." Being active involves engaging in regular physical exercise or movement, which can include activities such as walking, jogging, swimming, or playing sports. This term embodies energy and movement, opposing the inactivity implied by "sedentary." The other choices focus on notions that imply a lack of movement or activity. "Stationary," "relaxed," and "unmoving" suggest stillness or a type of inactivity, which does not align with the opposite nature of being active. Thus, "active" serves as the correct antonym to "sedentary."
