Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The correct choice for the sentence is the second option.
The use of absented himself is an improvement because it includes the reflexive pronoun himself, which clarifies that the person took an action to be absent from the meeting.
The other options are not correct and suitable in this context, as they might change the meaning of the sentence.
So, the sentence should be: "He absented himself from the meeting."
