Antonymy refers to a relationship between words that have opposite meanings. In this case, "new" and "old" are antonyms because they represent contrasting concepts of time or age. While "new" suggests something recent, fresh, or modern, "old" conveys the idea of something aged, ancient, or outdated. Therefore, antonymy is the correct answer as it accurately describes the relationship between the given words.
