Correct Answer: Certify

Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The word accredit means to officially recognise or give authority to someone or something, typically after meeting certain standards or requirements. Similarly, certify also means to confirm or attest that someone or something has met specific standards or requirements. In this context, both words involve an official acknowledgement of credibility or qualification.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

• Confide means to trust someone with private or confidential information.
• Rely means to depend on or trust in someone or something for support or assistance.
• Trust is a broad term that encompasses having confidence, faith, or reliance on someone or something.
