Why is this answer correct?
The opposition consists of all members and parliamentary groups that do not support the government. The governing parties form the government, the largest group may belong either to the government or to the opposition, and the 5% threshold only governs entry into parliament.
Opposition = everyone in parliament who does not govern.
