In the sentence, "scarce" means "in short supply", that is, there is not enough of something. Its antonym must mean "available in large quantities". "abundant" has exactly this meaning. "rare" and "limited" are close synonyms of "scarce", not antonyms. "valuable" describes worth, not quantity, so it is not the opposite either. The correct answer is "abundant".
