In the question below, a part is omitted which is then replaced by a blank. Choose the word from the given options that will fit into the blank most appropriately.


Regular exercise ____________ the immune system, making the body more resistant to infections.

Correct option is D

Sentence: Regular exercise ____________ the immune system, making the body more resistant to infections.
Correct Answer: (d) fortifies
Explanation:
The most appropriate word to complete the sentence is "fortifies", as it clearly conveys the idea of strengthening the immune system, which aligns with the intended meaning of the sentence.
Let’s examine each option:
· (a) Deplete (कम करना) – Means to reduce or drain, which contradicts the context.
· (b) Weakening (कमज़ोर करना) – A gerund/participle, and also conveys the opposite of what’s intended.
· (c) Enhanced (बढ़ाया हुआ) – Past tense, which is grammatically inconsistent with the sentence needing a present tense verb to match "making."
· (d) Fortifies (मज़बूत करता है) – Means to make stronger, particularly used in contexts like immunity, defense, or structures.
· (e) Developing (विकसित कर रहा है) – Present participle form doesn't fit grammatically with the structure of the sentence.
Final Answer: (d) fortifies
