Correct Answer: Surfeit

Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

Absence refers to the state of being away or not present, indicating a scarcity or lack of something. On the contrary, surfeit conveys the opposite meaning by representing an excess or abundance of something beyond what is needed.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

• Privation is the state of being deprived or in need.
• Vanity means excessive pride or admiration of one's own appearance or achievements.
• Dearth is a scarcity or lack of something.

Therefore, the correct answer is surfeit.
