Detailed Solution

 
Concept: Option B is the proper solution because 'abundance' means 'in masses or big numbers' while 'scarcity' means 'available in very much less quantity'. Thus, choice B is the most suitable opposite in that it means the given word. Option A is wrong because 'magnificent' means 'very attractive and impressive' while abundance' means 'in masses or big numbers'. Thus, choice A isn't the most suitable opposite in what it means to the given word. Option C is wrong because 'magnanimous' means 'beneficent or forgiving' while’ abundance' means 'in masses or big number'. Thus, choice C isn't the most suitable opposite in what it means to the given word. Option D is wrong because 'rare' means 'not discovered very often' while’ abundance' means 'in masses or big numbers'. Although 'rare' is relatively opposite, it isn't the complete opposite meaning to the given word.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
