Escalate

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Diminish.

  • "Escalate" means to increase in intensity, extent, or scope.
  • "Diminish" means to make or become less, to reduce in size, importance, or intensity.
  • Therefore, "diminish" is the opposite of "escalate" as it implies a decrease or reduction rather than an increase.
