@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.

@Sundar your explanation is correct but according to @Vikato's question we can conclude that refuse is correct.

Yes the answer is refusing because.
Obey means to do something.
Refuse means to oppose something.
So the answer may be refusing.
Kindly say me if I had done anything wrong.
