@Sundar your explanation is right but not valid here, since we are to find the antonyms of 'OBEYING' and not "REFUSING".

@All. Don't get confused by the answer given above because I think it is wrong. There is slight mistake with the answer given. The correct answer for antonym of obeying is refusing. If you think I am wrong you can refer any book or browse, for "antonym of obeying, " you will get many answer including refusing but you won't get "ordering" as the answer.

Obey means follow the orders given by one. I. E to obey.
Therefore disobey means not to follow orders or given instructions.
So obeying * ordering.
Therefore disobey means not to follow orders or given instructions.

The opposite of obeying is disobedience and in this case the closest answer is refusing. Correct me if I am wrong.
