    Option (b) is the correct answer. ‘Scanty’ means ‘small or insufficient in quantity or amount.’, the opposite for this is ‘plentiful’ which means ‘existing in or yielding great quantities; abundant.’ ‘ Arrogant’ means having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities. ‘Painful’ means (of a part of the body) affected with pain. ‘Handsome’ means (of a number, sum of money, or margin) substantial or (of a man) good-looking.
