Correct Answer: infinitely


Solution : The most appropriate option is the fourth option.

Explanation:
The passage discusses the breadth of one's options in the world, comparing them to the vastness of the horizon, which is technically a circle and therefore infinite in nature. The word infinitely aligns with the idea of the horizon being broad and endless , emphasising the vastness of one's choices.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Rigorously: This word means in a strict, precise, or thorough manner.
  • Severely: This word implies harshness or strictness
  • Strictly: Similar to rigorously, it implies a stringent adherence to rules or standards.
