Correct Answer: exclude

Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

"Incorporate" means to include or combine something into a larger whole. The opposite of this is to "exclude" which means to deliberately leave out or not include something. In the context of a business or organisation, for example, incorporating ideas involves including them, while excluding means deliberately leaving them out.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

• Integrate means to combine or coordinate different components into a unified whole.
• Assimilate means to absorb or fully understand information, ideas, or culture.
• Absorb means to take in or soak up.

Therefore, the correct answer is exclude.
