A
Necessity
💡 Explanation:
Surfeit means an excessive amount or overabundance. While 'scarcity' would be its most direct opposite, 'necessity' is contextually appropriate as the opposite of excess/surplus. Assuage means to soothe, restrain means to hold back, and regulate means to control - none are direct opposites of surfeit.
