The opposition
Kings facing off.
In a king-and-pawn endgame, having 'the opposition' means:
A
Your king controls more squares and so outvalues the enemy king in a race.
B
You hold an extra pawn that the enemy king is too far away to capture.
C
The kings stand one square apart and it is the OPPONENT to move, forcing them aside.
D
Your king has reached the far side of the board ahead of its pawn.
