How would you seal this gap around kitchen sink plumbing? (sh.itjust.works)

This is for a rental unit, so I'm trying to keep the cost low, while also sealing it away from silverfish. I have very fine steel wool on hand as well as a tube of DAP ultra clear flexible all purpose sealant.

Very helpful! One of the pipes is hot water to a sink and the other two are cold water and wastewater. In that case I think I'll do some mdf / scrap wood then fill remaining hole with steel wool I have in hand. I'm guessing the hot water pipe wouldn't be enough to pose a fire risk with the steel wool / mdf?
