Extra is right answer because trivial means little importance or tittle necessary. Where as extra means more than is needed. Little importance is not opposite to absolute importance. And opposite to absolute is not absolute like not complete, not pure. Just think a while, you will get the analogy between them.

Extra as also known as unnecessary.

Essential means important, where as trivial means unimportant so answer is trivial and extra makes no sense.

Yes, extra makes no sense here, the opposite of essential has to be trivial. Essential means very important and trivial means not very important. The opposite of extra would be lesser or less.

Essential literally means "very necessary" therefore trivial should be right answer.

I think trivial should be the right answer as its is the right opposite word for 'essential'.

The answer should be trivial. Extra is right but trivial is more accurate.
