Correct option is A
The correct antonym of the word is (a) Authorised.
Given word: Disenfranchise – To deprive someone of the right to vote or of power in general. (अधिकार वंचित करना)

Correct answer word: Authorised – To give someone the power or right to do something officially. (अधिकार प्रदान करना)

Synonyms of disenfranchise: deprive, disqualify, exclude, invalidate
Antonyms: empower, enfranchise, authorise, permit
Meanings of all the other given options:
· (b) Powers – Authority or control (शक्ति/अधिकार); a noun, not a verb or action word, so it doesn't fit as an antonym.
· (c) Disabled – Made unable to function (असक्षम), but it's not a direct antonym of disenfranchise in this context.
· (d) Reins – Used metaphorically to mean control or authority (नियंत्रण), again not an opposite action word.
