What is the antonym (opposite) of the word ‘Abundant’?

Explanation

‘Abundant’ describes existing in large quantities, so its opposite is ‘insufficient,’ meaning not enough, as in ‘The region’s water supply became insufficient during the drought.’ The remaining options, ‘plentiful,’ ‘ample,’ and ‘copious,’ are all synonyms of ‘abundant,’ making ‘insufficient’ the only genuine antonym among the choices.
