Required
“Requisite” is a word that can be used as a noun or an adjective, but because all of the potential answer choices are adjectives, we will need to consider “requisite” as an adjective. When used as an adjective, “requisite” means “made necessary by circumstances or regulations.” So, we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like “necessary.” That means that “optional” cannot be the correct answer, because “optional” means “available to be chosen but not obligatory,” making it an antonym, not a synonym, of “requisite.” “Required,” however, when used as an adjective, means “officially compulsory; indispensable,” and because “required” is the answer choice closest in meaning to “requisite,” “required” is the correct answer.
