Merriam Websters says that the closest antonym to obeying is refusing.

When you accept it means you have obeyed. Ordering I feel is not the ideal answer.

If I am to consider the real antonym of obeying, the most appropriate answer is disobeyed. I think the order is not the best opposite unless otherwise.

I think obeying is accepting, refusing means disobeying it's correct can anyone suggest me the correct answer?

Refusing should be the right answer.

Refuse is correct because obeying means accepting something so opposite to that is refusing.

Refusing ia the correct answer.
Ordering is irrelevant here.
Obeying means accepting the order and doing it. Ordering means giving some instructions to do something. Suppose if I Order and someone obeys and do it, there is no opposite at all here.

Refusing is the correct answer. Because obeying means follow the instructions here we have an opposite word so refusing is the correct.
