Complete answer:
Let's discuss the given options in detail to know the correct answer.
Deduct: Deduct means to take away a part from the total amount. Example, The player had points deducted from his score for arguing with the referee. Example: The company gave the salary to the employees after tax deduction. Hence option A is incorrect.
Receive : Receive means to get or to be presented with something not specifically money. Example :Sita received a gold medal for her bright achievement. Hence option B is incorrect.
Distribute : Distribute means to give a share or divide something among several people. Example : Teachers distributed toffees among the children. Hence option C is incorrect.
Give: Give means to offer something to someone, or to provide someone with something. Example: We must be finished by tonight, so i can give this book to her. Hence option D is incorrect.
Reimburse : reimburse means to pay back money to someone who spent or lost it. Example, the school will reimburse the fee in case a student leaves the school. Hence option A is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is option E.

Note:The other synonyms of refund are return, repay, restore ,transfer, renew. Example : You put in so much investment for so little return. Do not get confused with the word ‘give’ as it means to provide, not necessarily with something which was already theirs. Whereas, refund means to give back something which already belonged to someone. That's why reimburse is the synonym of the word refund.
