In the question below choose the most appropriate option opposite in meaning to the word(s) underlined:

We have found that cassava is a sine qua non item in our industry

Answer Details

The underlined phrase "sine qua non" means something that is absolutely essential or necessary.

So, the most appropriate option opposite in meaning to the underlined phrase is "dispensable".
