I think refusing may be correct because if we don't obey certain things we refuse it.

I think that obeying refers to abiding by someone's order or rules and regulations and refusing refers to refuse someone's order or rules and regulations.
So, in my point of view the authentic antonym of obeying is refusing.

If we think in the way that obeying means to follow the order and ordering means to give the order then we can say ordering us correct answer.

How it could be?
Its ok refuse is not an actual antonym of obeying. But how ordering would be antonym for obeying.
Its totally irrelevant. The question represents the high range of antonymous words.
Thus I think refuse is correct.

@Sundar: If you are trying to explain with the help of options, then antonym of 'ordering' can be 'REQUESTING' and may not be not 'obeying' (in my opinion). The appropriate opposite of obey is disobey and disobey-refuse.
