ABUNDANTAnswer & explanation
Answer: A) Scarce
Meaning: abundant = existing in large quantities, more than enough *(प्रचुर, भरपूर)*.

Why the others are wrong.

#B Ample = enough or more than enough *(पर्याप्त, विपुल)* — again a synonym.
#B Enough = as much as is needed *(पर्याप्त, काफ़ी)* — close in sense to abundant, never opposite.
