Read the passage given below and then answer the questions given below the passage. Some words may be highlighted for your attention. Read carefully.

The emergence of China and more recently, India, has reshaped relations and produced a broader area of economic integration in Asia. Even in southern Asia, where the strategic triangle of China, India, and Pakistan has resulted in flashpoints and suspicions, both India and China have kept their sights on increasing trade and economic growth as a security imperative for the long term. However, southern Asia's security, political, and economic foundations face stresses that could profoundly alter its evolution, usher in the return of geopolitics, and reshape political and economic relations globally. South Asia is in the midst of a geopolitical transformation wrought by several simultaneous developments: China's rise, both economically and militarily, and its efforts to increase its commercial and diplomatic influence throughout Eurasia; India's rise, and its own efforts to work with South and Southeast Asia; and attempts by the United States to recalibrate its own grand strategy to address new power dynamics across the arc of Asia from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean. These shifting dynamics carry within them not only the seeds of potential conflict but also the hope for greater cooperation, both among regional powers and between them and the United States. ​

Simultaneous means 'occurring, operating, or done at the same time.'$

The meanings of the options given above are:

Latent: existing but not yet developed or manifest; hidden or concealed$

Accost: approach and speak to someone aggressively or insistently$

Asynchronous: $not existing or occurring at the same time$

Maelstrom: a powerful circular current of water$

Litigant: a party to a lawsuit; someone involved in litigation$

Only asynchronous means the opposite of simultaneous, hence option 3 is the correct answer.
