Well, it could be mislead, or it could be follow... Depends on how you mean lead. Lead the way, or lead someone to believe...

Follow is the most obvious opposite. Obey would be the opposite of command, and copy would be the opposite of original. Mislead is, in fact, the same as to lead, in that it means to lead in an incorrect direction.

It should be follow.
Obey can be a synonym of follow.
Copy can mean various things
Mislead is not an antonym because you are still leading but in the wrong direction.

all are correct as there are different definitions for LEAD
1- to show the way to by going in advance- opposite = follow
2-to guide or direct in a course - opposite=mislead
3-to guide the activities of - opposite = obey
4- to be first or original- opposite=copy

I would choose follow. That's the most common usage.
