A Correct answer
Explanation

Congruity means the quality or state of being in agreement or harmony - things that fit together properly. Anachronism means something belonging to a different time period, representing a mismatch or lack of harmony with the current time. This is the closest opposite among the options. Avarice means greed, certitude means certainty, digression means straying from topic, and concomitant means accompanying - none directly oppose congruity.
