My personal favorite, it is a style of poetry with no rhyme or regular meter.
It means c) rare
scarce means rare and copious is its synonym
vacant and occupied are antonyms of scarce meaning plentiful
hence, the double colon separating the pairs of words
Yeah I think the first one is correct as well
