Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Devitalize.

Devitalize is a suitable option.

The word "enervate" refers to the process of weakening or depleting someone's vitality.

Devitalize is a verb that is similar to enervate in that it signifies to deprive of strength or vitality.

Compared to other options: 

"Insecure": It refers to a lack of assurance or confidence; it has nothing to do with the idea of weakness. 

"Desolation": is a term used to describe a condition of emptiness or destruction; it has nothing to do with the concept of energy draining.

"Secure": This word refers to safe or protected, but "enervate" denotes the opposite of this.
