Explanation:

To find the antonym of "consent" (which means to agree or give permission), we analyze each option:

• Option a: "try" means to attempt, not the opposite of consent.
• Option b: "refuse" means to decline or not give permission, which is the opposite of consent.
• Option c: "begin" means to start, not related to the opposite of consent.
• Option d: "practice" means to do repeatedly for skill, not the opposite of consent.
