Answer 1

The correct answer is "Over."

Key Points

Let us understand the meaning of the given and the marked words:
- "Under" means below the surface of something; covered by something.
  - Example: Most of an iceberg is under the water.
- "Over" means above or higher than something.
  - Example: He threw a ball over the fence.
In the given sentence, the dog is climbing under the fence, so the opposite would be climbing over the fence.

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

Additional Information

In option 2, Sink: This word means to go down or submerge, which is not the opposite of climbing under something.
In option 3, Behind: This word means at the back of something, which is not the opposite of going under something.
In option 4, Beneath: This word is a synonym of 'under', so it cannot be the antonym.
