Although the atmosphere was hostile, the meeting ended on ..........terms.

Answer Details
The word "although" indicates that the atmosphere being hostile would suggest a negative outcome. The word "terms" suggests that the outcome of the meeting was positive. The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "hostile" and correctly fills the gap in the sentence would be "amicable," which means having a friendly and pleasant relationship. Therefore, the correct answer is option D, "amicable."
