Correct Answer: Interdiction
Solution : The correct option is the fourth option.
Explanation:
Consent
refers to the approval or permission for something to happen or proceed. In this context,
interdiction
aligns most closely with the opposite meaning of granting permission or consent, as it implies a prohibition or restriction on proceeding with a project.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Bickering refers to petty arguments or quarrels unrelated to granting or denying permission.
- Expulsion means the act of forcing someone or something to leave; it is not directly related to granting or denying permission.
- Directive is an authoritative instruction or order, different from the context of granting or denying permission.
Therefore, the correct answer is interdiction.
