What is the opposite of 'chronic'?

Constant
Rare
Frequent
Infrequent

The correct answer is: Infrequent

The term 'chronic' typically refers to a condition that persists over a long period of time or is frequently recurring, often implying it is long-lasting or ongoing. In contrast, 'infrequent' describes something that does not occur often or is rare in frequency. Therefore, the correct answer is 'infrequent,' as it suggests a lack of regularity or occurrence over time, directly opposing the idea of a chronic condition which is characterized by its constant presence or recurrence. This distinction highlights the difference in frequency and duration between chronic issues and those that are infrequent. The other options suggest varying degrees of occurrence but do not capture the essence of being the opposite of something that is long-lasting or recurrent.
