    Solution

    The opposite of ‘comfort’ is ‘discomfort’. Hence, option d is correct. ‘Uncomfort’ is not a standard English word. Solace also means ‘comfort’ especially given in a sad situation. “Ease’ can be related to 'comfort’ as ‘ease’ refers to a seamless flow of a process or a situation without any pain or suffering.
