    A Strive Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Excel Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Grow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Collapse Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    "Thrive" means to be successful, to grow vigorously, or to prosper in a particular environment or situation.

    The antonym of "thrive" would be "collapse", which means to fail or fall apart, especially after a period of success or stability.

    "Strive," "excel," and "grow" all suggest positive actions related to success or improvement, which align more with the meaning of "thrive."

    So, the correct answer is Collapse.
