Correct Answer: supersede


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Supplant: It means taking the place of somebody/something.

Supersede: It means taking the place of somebody or something that existed or was used before and has become old-fashioned. As both words have similar meanings, supersede will be the correct replacement for supplant .

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Override: It means using your authority to reject somebody’s decision, order, etc.
  • Succeed: It means achieving the desired aim or result.
  • Superseed: It is an incorrect word. The correct spelling is supersede.
