Noxious
Helpful
Additive
Austere
Solution
Answer
The answer is Helpful.
Explanation
Option 1: Noxious
"Noxious" means harmful, poisonous, or very unpleasant. It is similar in meaning to "deleterious," which also means causing harm or damage. Therefore, "noxious" is not the opposite of "deleterious."
Option 2: Helpful
"Helpful" means providing assistance or serving a useful function. This is the opposite of "deleterious," which means causing harm or damage. Therefore, "helpful" is the correct opposite of "deleterious."
Option 3: Additive
"Additive" refers to a substance added to something in small quantities to improve or preserve it. While it is not directly related to "deleterious," it is not the opposite either.
Option 4: Austere
"Austere" means severe or strict in manner, attitude, or appearance. It does not have a direct opposite relationship with "deleterious," as it refers more to a style or approach rather than harm or benefit.
