Actually it should be Refusing (from my point of view). Please do let me know if I am wrong. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Yes the answer should be refusing, antonym of obey is disobey. Meaning of disobey is to refuse.

@All
I think the given answer 'Ordering' is Correct.
Just think in reverse, what is the antonym for 'Refusing'.
Is it 'OBEYING' ?
No. The best antonyms for Refuse/Refusing are:
=> accept, allow, approve, consent, grant, offer, ok, sanction.
Therefore 'Ordering' is correct.
Kindly give me your suggestions if I'm wrong.

According to me, refusing is the correct answer because it is the exact opposite of the word accepting and yet accepting is a synonym of the word obeying. Please let me know if am incorrect.
