Out of the given words, the only contextually wrong word is irreverent, which means showing a lack of respect for people or things that are generally taken seriously.$

e.g. She is irreverent about the religious practices in her household.

Since the sentence mentions being 'precise', the correct word here could be Irrelevant, which means not connected with or relevant to something.$

Meanings of the other words:

futile- $incapable of producing any useful result; pointless.$

To opine- To hold and state something as one's opinion.$

precise- $marked by exactness and accuracy of expression or detail.$

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
