Divergent means?

Be or become different Tending to split and move out in different directions from a single point; diverging Identical Harmonious

Correct Answer:

Be or become different

Explanation:

Divergent means to be or become different from something else. This broad sense fits how the word is used when ideas, opinions, or directions aren’t the same—they differ from each other. The option that says to be or become different captures this general idea best. The other description describes a specific, physical sense of moving apart from a single point, which is narrower. Opposites like being identical or harmonious don’t fit the meaning at all.
