[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The correct answer is "has the opposite meaning of another word."

To determine this, you can break down the question and the responses. An antonym refers to a word that has the opposite meaning of another word.

In this case, three of the responses are eliminated since they do not mention anything about opposite meanings.

- "Is characteristic of its type" describes a word's quality or attribute, but it does not convey the opposite meaning of another word.
- "States the exact meaning of a word" refers to a synonym, which means it shares the same meaning as another word, not the opposite.
- "Has the same meaning as another word" also describes a synonym, not an antonym.

Thus, the remaining response, "has the opposite meaning of another word," correctly describes an antonym.
