Correct Answer: abdication


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

The underlined segment mentions the king's action of renouncing the throne, which is precisely the meaning of abdication.

Abdication refers to the formal act of stepping down from a position of power, especially from the throne or another high office.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • Coronation: The ceremony of crowning a king or monarch.
  • Extradition: Surrendering an alleged criminal to another jurisdiction for prosecution.
  • Exoneration: Officially absolving someone of blame or proving innocence.

Therefore, the correct answer is abdication.
