Correct Answer: Reciprocated


Solution : The correct option is the third option.

Explanation : "Retaliated " means to respond to an attack or injury with a similar action, seeking revenge or reprisal. Similarly, "reciprocated " means to respond to something by returning the same kind of action or gesture. In this context, the wrestler responded to the blow he received by delivering a blowback, which aligns with the idea of reciprocation.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Respect means to admire or have high regard for someone or something.
  • Welcome refers to greeting or receiving someone in a friendly or hospitable manner.
  • Forgive means to pardon or cease to feel resentment against someone for an offence.

Therefore, the correct answer is reciprocated.
