Answer Details
The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "compulsory" is "voluntary." The sentence is stating that contributions should not be compulsory, meaning they should not be required or mandatory. The opposite of this would be voluntary, meaning they are given willingly or by choice. Therefore, the correct answer is the word "voluntary."
