What is "that paradox"? → Abundant choice producing dissatisfaction.

正解 · Answer

解説 · Why

その 逆説 refers to 豊かさが 不満を うむ — the paradox that abundant choice leads to less satisfaction.

誤答 · Why the other options are wrong
That is the surface view the writer overturns, not the paradox itself.
The passage says too many choices cause trouble, not too few.
Not the paradox being named.
