Solution
The correct option is B safe
Precarious means dependent on chance. The opposite of precarious is safe, or protected from or not exposed to danger or risk. Hence, Option B is correct. Among the rest of the options, carefree means free from anxiety or responsibility, easy means achieved without great effort; presenting few difficulties, cautious means (of a person) careful to avoid potential problems or dangers. These options do not express this antonym, hence incorrect
