D Correct answer
Explanation

Plethora means an excess, overabundance, or too much of something. 'Dearth' means a scarcity, lack, or shortage, which is the direct opposite. This is a perfect antonym pair. The distractors are incorrect: 'vacuousness' means emptiness of thought, 'narrowness' means limited width, 'choice' means option, and 'confusion' means lack of clarity.
