deferential : disrespectful ::
obsequious : assertive
irascible : petulant
maladroit : awkward

Explanation

Answer: Choice (B) is correct.

Deferential means courteous and reverent, not disrespectful, so look for the answer choice that contains antonyms. In choice (A), imperative means urgent or essential, so eliminate that choice. In choice (C), irascible means grumpy and quick-tempered, which is the same as petulant. In choice (D), maladroit means awkward or inept. The only choice that contains antonyms is choice (B). Obsequious means submissive and eager to serve, not assertive.
