D Correct answer
Explanation

Impending means about to happen soon or imminent (usually negative events). Afar means at a distance or far away, suggesting something is not close or imminent. While 'remote' would be a clearer opposite, 'afar' is the best choice among these options. Extra (A) and Plucky (B) are unrelated. Nigh (E) is a synonym.
