    Solution

    "Elaborate" means involving many careful details or complicated features, so its antonym would be something that describes simplicity or lack of detail. (1) Complex: This is similar in meaning to "elaborate," as both imply detailed and intricate features. (2) Detailed: This is synonymous with "elaborate," not an antonym. (4) Intricate: This is also similar to "elaborate," as both suggest complexity and detailed design. Thus, "simple" is the best antonym for "elaborate," as it denotes something that is not complicated or detailed.
