Solution
The correct option is D Integral
The 'structure of a book' refers to the overall idea behind the book and the order in which the contents are presented. The word, 'extraneous' means 'not related to the subject being dealt with'.
The word, 'extrinsic' means 'not part of the essential nature of something'. The word 'irrelevant' means 'not relevant'. These two words have a meaning similar to the word, 'extraneous'. Hence, options A and B are incorrect. The word, 'additional' means 'extra' or 'supplementary to what is presented'. This word is not the opposite of the word, 'extraneous'. Hence, option C is incorrect.
The word, 'integral' means 'essential or fundamental'. This word means the opposite of something which is 'not related' or 'extraneous'. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
