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

Obeying means accepting with a polite manner.

Refusing means not accepting.

So, the correct answer is refusing.

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

@Manjari.

I think obeying means refuse, and obey means follow someone instructions, so ordering is correct.

Refusing is correct.

Eg. Ordering means to follow someones order.

Refusing means to deny someones order.

You just have to take it inversely as you are ordered to do something and you eventually obeyed. Simple.
