Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. enhance.
Context: The sentence talks about farmers using new strategies and technologies to increase their strength or ability to deal with climate change. The word should mean improve or make stronger.
Meaning of the words:
Compromise: means to weaken or settle by lowering standards.
Reduce: means to make something smaller or less.
Accept: means to agree to take or receive something.
Enhance: means to improve or increase the quality, value, or strength of something.
Correct word: Enhance
Reason: Farmers aim to strengthen their ability to face climate challenges, not weaken or reduce it. Therefore, “enhance their resilience” is the correct phrase.
Final Sentence: Farmers adopt innovative strategies and technologies to enhance their resilience to these changes.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
