Correct Answer: utmost


Solution : The most appropriate option is the first option.

Explanation:
The sentence suggests that, despite the vastness of options available to us (as broad as the horizon) , we must tread carefully and choose our steps wisely. Utmost caution fits in this context as it implies the highest level of care and attention, aligning with the idea of being mindful and deliberate in our choices to make meaningful footprints.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Slack means careless or negligent.
  • Unmindful means indicating a lack of attention or awareness, similar to "inattentive".
  • Inattentive means not paying attention or being careless.
