Correct Answer: Enhance


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation :

The word undermine suggests weakening or diminishing the effectiveness or authority of something. The appropriate antonym, in this case, is enhance , which means to improve, strengthen, or increase the value or quality of something.

  • Cripple: This term refers to causing severe damage or harm, especially to the point of disabling or severely limiting effectiveness.

  • Weaken: This term means to make less strong or less powerful.

  • Spoil: This means to have a detrimental effect on the quality, value, or success of something.
