Correct answer: D
Answer: Inadequate — Inadequate means lacking the quality or quantity required; insufficient for a purpose.
Efficient means achieving maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort or expense.
Why the other choices are incorrect:
Able: Means having the skill or means to do something; not the opposite of efficient.
Potent: Means powerful or effective in producing an effect; not an antonym of efficient.
Capable: Similar to "able" — able to do something; not the opposite of efficient.
