Answer 1

Hint:The dictionary meaning of the word “forbid” is “to refuse to allow something”. For example: I can see why phones were forbidden.

Complete answer:
Forbid is a verb. If you forbid someone to do something, or if you forbid an activity, you order that it must not be done. If something for beds a particular course of action or state of affairs, it makes it impossible for the course of action or state of affairs to happen. For example They'll forbid you to marry.
Now, let us examine all the given options and find out the correct answer:
Option ‘a’ is Provoke. It is a verb which means to stimulate or give rise to (a reaction or an emotion, typically a strong or unwelcomed one) in someone. For example: Rachel refused to be provoked.
Option ‘b’ is Appreciate. It is a verb which means to recognize the full worth of someone. For example: He never appreciates me enough.
Option ‘c’ is Celebrate. It is a verb which means to acknowledge (a significant or happy day or event) with a social gathering or enjoyable activity. For example: He celebrated his dad's birthday.
Option ‘d’ is Permit. It is a verb which means to officially allow someone to do something. For example: My parents never permit me to go on a tour with my friends.
As we’ve analyzed all the given options we can easily figure out the correct answer. Here, the word that is opposite in meaning of the given word “forbid” is “permit”. So, the correct answer is “Option d”.
