Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
  • Stringent: Refers to something that is strict, precise, or severe.
  • Lax: Refers to something that is not strict, loose, or lenient.

Given that the law against armed robbery is described as stringent, the appropriate opposite to complete the sentence would be "lax," indicating that the law against smoking in public places is not as strict or severe.
