正解 · Answer
とぼしく
解説 · Why
乏しい (scarce, lacking) = とぼしい. The on-reading ぼう appears in 欠乏 (けつぼう). Do not confuse with 貧しい (まずしい, poor).
誤答 · Why the other options are wrong
ぼうしく — ぼう is the on-reading (欠乏 けつぼう); the adjective is とぼしい.
ともしく — ともす (灯す, to light a lamp) is a different verb; "scarce" is とぼしい.
まずしく — まずしい is 貧しい (poor), a different kanji.
