Its direct opposite is active, which means functioning, moving, or producing an effect. The other options are close to dormant rather than opposite to it. For example, a dormant volcano is not erupting at present, while an active volcano shows signs of activity. Similarly, a dormant account has not been used for a specified period, whereas an active account is being operated regularly. Hence, active is the correct antonym.</span></td>
