@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.
