The logic is:

1. Melancholy: Gloomy → Melancholy means a feeling of sadness that lasts for a long time. Both the words are synonyms of each other.

2. Negligent: Attentive → Negligent means not being careful. Attentive means watching, listening to or thinking about somebody/something carefully. Both the words are antonyms of each other.

3. Dynamic: Robust → Dynamic means full of energy and ideas. Robust is the synonym of Dynamic.

4. Lethargic: Laidback → Lethargic means having little energy; feeling unwilling and unable to do anything. Laidback is the synonym of Lethargic.

Hence, ‘Negligent: Attentive’ is the odd one out.
