The opposite of "Stringent" is Option 4: Lenient.
Explanation:
- Stringent refers to something that is strict, precise, or demanding, often with high standards.
- Lenient is the opposite, indicating a more permissive or forgiving approach.
The other options do not convey the opposite meaning of "Stringent":
- Option 1: Vehement means showing strong and forceful expression or emotion, but it does not necessarily imply strictness or precision.
- Option 2: Severe is somewhat synonymous with stringent, as both suggest strictness and seriousness.
- Option 3: General is unrelated to the concept of strictness or precision. It refers to something that is widespread or common rather than specific and strict.
