I think it's B

First figure out the relationship between the first two: utilitarian and frivolous. Look them up, and you will see that they are opposites. Now, what is the opposite of "metaphysical"? http://openstudy.com/users/baconbits#/updates/5494555de4b023e99aa881ae

Okay so it should be B?

OpenStudy (baconbits):

Knowing that "utilitarian" and "frivolous" are opposites, turn it into a sentence: "Utilitarian" and "frivolous" are opposites, just like "metaphysical" and "_____" are opposites. Metaphysical means "of or relating to things that are thought to exist but that cannot be seen" Otherworldly is a synonym for metaphysical. Other synonyms include: conceptual, abstract, and theoretical. Words that means the opposites of those words could include: concrete, nonabstract, real, and tangible. Of your four choices, the one which is most unlike "metaphysical" is "earthly"
