Correct Answer: attributes


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

In the given sentence, the verb imputes is a key term that conveys the action of assigning or crediting a particular ability or quality to a specific cause or source. So, it's crucial to select a word that aligns with this notion of giving credit or attributing something to a particular origin, which is attributes.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Validates: It means confirming the truth or accuracy rather than crediting a particular influence.

  • Contributes: It means to give or add to a common result.

  • Amputates: This term means to cut off or remove a part.

Therefore, the right answer is attributes.
