Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.

Rehabilitate

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Absolve.

The most appropriate synonym for "rehabilitate" among the given options is "absolve." "Rehabilitate" means to restore someone to health, reputation, or a useful life. "Absolve" fits this as it means to clear someone of blame, thus restoring their standing. The other options—reinstall, develop, and decline—do not match this meaning. "Reinstall" means to place back, "develop" means to grow, and "decline" means to decrease, none of which align with "rehabilitate."
