The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is:
☀ exempted
Explanation for all options:
-
Exempted: This word means to be freed or released from a requirement or obligation. In the context of the sentence, it's saying that children under five years are not required to undergo passport biometrics.
-
Escaped: This word doesn't fit the context. "Escaped" means to have gotten away from a dangerous situation or confinement, which is not relevant to passport biometrics.
-
Allowed: This word doesn't convey the right meaning in this context. "Allowed" means giving permission to do something, but the sentence is discussing an exemption, not permission.
-
Acquitted: This word is used in legal contexts and means being declared not guilty of a crime. It's not relevant to the sentence's context.
