Correct Answer: Request


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

Solicit means to ask for or seek something earnestly or formally. It involves making a request, typically through persuasion or entreaty, for something like advice, business, support, or a donation. Therefore, among the given options, request aligns best with the meaning of solicit.
