E Correct answer
Explanation

Anachronism refers to something that belongs to a different time period, especially something that is outdated or out of place in time. The opposite would be something that fits appropriately in its time or context - something congruous or harmonious with its surroundings. Option E 'congruity' means harmony, agreement, or appropriateness in context, which contrasts with the notion of something being out of its proper time.
