The correct antonym here is 'brimming.' Bereft means 'deprived of or lacking (something).' So the word 'brimming' is the best option because it means 'be full to the point of overflowing.' The other words are in fact similar to the given word. 

Destitute => poor

Beggared => make poor

Deprived => underprivileged
