Excessive
“Exorbitant” is an adjective that refers to a price or amount charged and means “unreasonably high,” so we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like “unreasonably high.” That means that “reasonable” cannot be the correct answer, because “reasonable” means “as much as is appropriate,” making it an antonym, not a synonym, of “exorbitant.” “Excessive,” however, is an adjective that means “more than is necessary, normal, or desirable,” and because “excessive” is the answer choice closest in meaning to “exorbitant,” “excessive” is the correct answer.
