Correct Answer: Authorised


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation: Disenfranchise means to deprive someone of power or rights, especially the right to vote or participate in government. The opposite of disenfranchise in this context is to authorise, which means to grant or give power or official permission.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Powers: This word is related to authority or ability, but in this context, it's not the direct antonym of disenfranchisement.
  • Disabled: This is a related term, but not the direct opposite. It means to render something ineffective or inoperative.
  • Reins: This refers to control or guidance, but it's not the direct antonym of disenfranchisement.
