Correct Answer: Absolution


Solution : The correct option is the second option.

Explanation:
Absolution refers to the formal forgiveness granted by a religious authority for a person's sins. It is often part of religious rituals like confession in Christianity.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Ablutions refer to ritual washing or cleansing, especially as part of religious ceremonies.
  • Absolutism is a political doctrine advocating for absolute rule or authority without checks and balances.
  • Forgiveness means the action or process of forgiving or being forgiven, generally without the formal or religious context specifically associated with absolution.

Therefore, the correct answer is absolution.
