As obeying means following the orders given by someone.

So definitely the antonym of obeying will be ordering -means to give orders to someone.

@All.

Order is right.
Obey - accepting the order.
Order - giving the order.

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.

How ordering possible?

Pavan said:   5 years ago
I think obeying is accepting, refusing means disobeying it's correct can anyone suggest me the correct answer?

Diana Tuhumwire said:   5 years ago
Refusing should be the right answer.

Jana said:   5 years ago
Refuse is correct because obeying means accepting something so opposite to that is refusing.

Taongamo said:   5 years ago
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.
