Both "typical" means normal or everyday, so "usual," which means standard or normal, is the correct answer.

None of the other answers have meanings related to that of "typical": "infrequent" means occuring rarely; "eager" means keen or enthusiastic; and "invisible" means not able to be seen, as you might have been able to infer from the word's use of the negative prefix "in-," which means not, and "visible."
