Correct answer: C
Answer: Adequate — it means enough or satisfactory, which matches the meaning of "sufficient."
Meaning of "sufficient": enough to meet a need or requirement.
Why "Adequate" is correct: "adequate" means enough or acceptable for a purpose, so it is a direct synonym of "sufficient."
Why the other choices are wrong:
Meager and Scanty both mean small or insufficient, which is the opposite of "sufficient."
Excess means more than needed, which also does not match the idea of being "enough."
