Correct answer: Scanty

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: (B) Scanty šŸ“š Explanation: 'Abundant' refers to something existing or available in large quantities; more than enough. It is often used to describe natural resources, harvests, or opportunities. 'Scanty' is the direct antonym, meaning small or insufficient in quantity or amount.
