Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
A "proponent" is a person who argues in favour of something and puts a case forward for it. The option that means a supporter or champion of a cause is "advocate".
- advocate is correct because both a proponent and an advocate publicly support and speak for an idea or cause.
- predecessor is wrong because it means someone who held a position before another, which is about sequence in time, not support.
- conspirator is wrong because it means one who plots secretly, usually for something harmful, not an open supporter.
- informer is wrong because it means one who gives information against others, not a champion of a cause.
Therefore "advocate" is the correct synonym of PROPONENT.
