    A Pessimistic Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Hopeful Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Positive Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Confident Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    "Optimistic" means having a positive outlook or expecting good things to happen in the future.

    The antonym of "optimistic" is "pessimistic," which refers to having a negative outlook or expecting bad things to happen.

    "Hopeful", "positive", and "confident" all align with a positive outlook, similar to "optimistic," but they are not true antonyms.

    So, the correct answer is "Pessimistic."
