"Odd" is defined as different from what is usual or expected. So, "peculiar," which means unusual or strange, is our best answer choice because both "odd" and "peculiar" describe something that is strange or unexpected. "Normal" is an antonym, or opposite, of "odd."

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."
