Correct Answer: destroy


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Conserve means to protect something from harm, whereas destroy means to damage something in a violent way, after which it cannot be used. Both of the words imply opposite actions and, hence, are antonyms.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Maintain means to continue the existing state.
  • Support means to give assistance.
  • Preserve means to maintain something in its original state.
