The correct answer is A — superfluous ✅
Explanation:
Extraneous means unnecessary, irrelevant, or extra.
Superfluous also means more than needed or unnecessary, so it is the closest in meaning.
The other options:
Erroneous = wrong
Relevant = related/important
Main = most important
So the best answer is A — superfluous.
