Explanation
Your word for the blank needs to reflect the idea that Eno is everywhere, so something like common or prevalent would make sense. Choices (B) and (E) give roughly synonymous meanings, but nothing in the sentence supports the idea that Eno is disreputable.
Neither omnivorous, which means eating all foods, nor fortuitous, which means accidental, is supported by the sentence, so eliminate choices (A) and (C). Both omnipresent and ubiquitous mean present everywhere—like sodium and divine beings—so choices (D) and (F) give you appropriate, equivalent sentences.
