The other options do not provide a true opposite meaning:Embodied: Suggests giving a tangible form to an idea, not the opposite of tangible.Phenomenal: While it can mean extraordinary, it can also refer to observable phenomena, not the opposite of tangible.Verifiable: Implies something can be confirmed or proven, often with tangible evidence, not the opposite of tangible.
