Correct Answer: wealth


Solution : The first option is the correct choice.

Penury refers to extreme poverty or destitution, indicating a lack of financial resources or necessities. On the other hand, wealth represents a state of having abundant material possessions, resources, or riches.

The meanings of the other options are:

Agony: It means intense physical or mental suffering.
Intensity: It means the degree or strength of something.
Apathy: It denotes a lack of interest or enthusiasm.

Therefore, wealth is the opposite of penury because it signifies affluence, prosperity, and the possession of ample financial means.
