Correct Answer: Seize

Solution : The correct choice will be the first option.

The one-word substitute for the given group of words is seize.

Seize: This term means to take hold of or grasp something forcibly or suddenly. It implies a sudden and often decisive action to capture or take control.

The meanings of the other words are:

Liberate: Liberate means to set free or release, which is the opposite of forcibly taking hold of something.

Release: Release means to set free or let go, and it is not synonymous with the idea of forcibly or suddenly taking hold of something.

Relinquish: Relinquish means to voluntarily give up or surrender, and it is the opposite of forcibly seizing something.
