C Correct answer
Explanation

Frivolous means lacking seriousness, not important, or casual/trivial in nature. "Casual" captures the informal, not-serious aspect, though it's not a perfect synonym (frivolous often implies a lack of value/importance that "casual" doesn't always carry). The other options (strict, austere, stringent) all describe serious, disciplined approaches - antonyms of frivolous.
