Correct Answer: forfeit


Solution : The correct choice will be the third option.

The most appropriate antonym for the underlined word capitalise in the given sentence is forfeit.

Capitalise in this context means to take advantage of or make the most of opportunities for personal gain or benefit.
Forfeit, on the other hand, means to lose or give up something as a penalty for a mistake, failure, or violation.

The antonym forfeit contrasts with capitalize as it involves losing or surrendering something, whereas capitalize involves gaining or exploiting opportunities.

The meanings of the other words are:

Dismantle: It means to take a machine or something complicated apart.

Destroy: It means to tear down demolish, or break up.

Seize: It means to take something quickly and hold it.

Therefore, the correct answer will be forfeit.
