Answer : 2. "Homecoming"
Explanation :
"Exodus" refers to a mass departure or exit of people, often used to describe a large group leaving a place. The antonym, "Homecoming," signifies a return or arrival back to one's home or place of origin. Therefore, "Homecoming" is the opposite of "Exodus" as it involves people coming back home rather than leaving.
