Explanation
Lavish means sumptuously rich or given in generous, extravagant amounts (“lavish parties”). Its opposite is frugal — sparing or economical in spending. Cheap refers to low price rather than lack of generosity, decent means merely acceptable, and strange means odd; none is the true antonym. Hence (A) frugal is correct.
