No, "ordering" does not refer to the opposite of "obeying." Instead, "ordering" involves giving commands or instructions, whereas "obeying" involves following those commands or instructions. The opposite of "obeying" is "disobeying," which means not following orders or instructions.
So, in a sense:
Ordering: Giving commands.
Obeying: Following commands.
Disobeying: Not following commands.
So, in a sense:
Ordering: Giving commands.
Obeying: Following commands.
Disobeying: Not following commands.

Obeying means - to accept the order.
Ordering means- to give the order.
Obeying means - to accept the order.
Ordering means- to give the order.

In my opinion, refusing is correct. It is because refusing is nearly the opposite of ordering. Its proper antonym, by the way, is disobeying but it is missing, so refusing is correct then.
On the other hand, ordering means to order some for obligation, and Obeying means to follow the orders. Both have their own positive explanations which don't contradict together as antonym words demand.

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

@All.
I think is that obeying means (to accept the order or to follow the order).
And according to this scenario, the right answer should be refuse means (not follow).
