Correct Answer: permeate


Solution : The third option is correct.

Permeate means to pass or spread through something, especially when referring to liquids or gases moving through a porous material. In this context, it fits perfectly, as it describes the action of water moving through the surrounding concrete.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Statolith refers to a structure in certain plants or animals that helps them perceive gravity.
  • Aerate means to introduce air into a substance.
  • Delegate means to assign or entrust responsibility or authority to someone else.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: "Eventually, the water will permeate through the surrounding concrete."
