Explanation

The phrase 'beside the mark' means irrelevant or not to the point - not hitting the intended target or topic. 'Irrelevant' is the correct one-word replacement. Other options like pivotal (crucial), crucial (important), superlative (highest degree), or important (significant) are antonyms - they mean the opposite of irrelevant.
