What is the opposite of the addition operation?

Subtraction
Division
Multiplication
Exponent

The correct answer is: Subtraction

The opposite (or inverse) of an operation is the operation that undoes or reverses its result. In the case of addition, the opposite operation is subtraction. Subtraction involves taking a certain number away from another number, while addition involves combining two or more numbers. In contrast, division involves dividing a number into equal parts, which is the opposite of multiplication. Exponentiation, or raising a number to a certain power, is not the opposite of addition. Therefore, option D is incorrect. Similarly, option B (division) and option C (multiplication) are also incorrect as they are not inverse operations of addition.
