D offensive

The closest antonym for the word "renowned" is  "overlooked."

Explanation:

Antonym means the opposite of a word, so let's start by taking in what we already know about this one. Renowned means, and I quote, "known or talked about by many people; famous." So, what's the opposite of well-known?

Beloved means loved dearly or a lot, so we can go ahead and cross that off the list.

Distinctive is characteristic someone or something has that makes it different from something else, so we can cross that off the list, too.

Offensive means something that (you normally say or do that) makes someone feel very angry or upset. That also isn't the opposite of renowned. Cross that out too.

That leaves us with overlooked. Overlooked means when someone fails to notice or regard something (normally someone). This matches perfectly with our main word. Renowned is when someone is well-known and gets lots of attention while our antonym means not so known and gets little to no attention.

Hope this helped!
