Correct Answer: condemn

Solution : The correct answer is the first option.

Explanation : In a legal context, "acquit" refers to clearing someone of a criminal charge or finding them not guilty. The appropriate antonym, in this case, is " condemn " which means to express strong disapproval or to declare someone guilty, often with a negative moral judgement.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

• Relieve refers to alleviating stress or pressure.
• Leave refers to the action of departing or going away from a place.
• Replace involves substituting one thing with another, implying a change or substitution.
