“Tentative” means uncertain, not final, or temporary—like a sketch still waiting for its final ink.
So the opposite would be something firm, final, and settled.
A. convincing → persuasive, not about certainty vs uncertainty
B. provisional → actually similar to tentative
C. amicable → friendly, unrelated
D. definite → fixed and final 
Correct answer: D. A definite
Given the context, "tentative solution" suggests a solution that is not final or conclusive, but rather temporary or subject to change. With that in mind, the most appropriate option is B: "A provisional." This term implies a solution that is temporary or subject to further modification or confirmation.
The answer chosen is not correct considering the explanation you gave, MYSCHOOL please correct that.
