I guess dotage and senility both meaning is same.

It is a period of life in which a person is old and week.

What is the opposite of dotage?

Senility is the correct one. Because senility- the state of being senile while dotage- the time when one is not so string as before it can be mental or physical.

A fool is a person who you think behaves or speaks in a way that lacks intelligence or good judgement.

Senility is the state of behaving in a confused or strange way, and unable to remember things, because you are old. 'Be in your dotage' means to be old and not always able to think clearly. When one can not think clearly (dotage) , he/she lacks intelligence and so behaves like a fool. But when one behaves in a confused way or is unable to remember things (senility), it doesn't necessarily mean he behaves like a fool.

So, the correct answer is 'dotage'.

Senility that is senile relate to old age people only and not their behaviour. Related to fondness!

Dotage and senility are synonyms.
