Choose the appropriate Antonym of the given word - "ADULTERATE"

purify

The correct answer is Option (3) - purify

"Adulterate" means to make something impure or to debase its quality by adding foreign or inferior substances. In contrast, "purify" means to remove impurities or contaminants, restoring something to its original, pure state. This makes "purify" the exact opposite of "adulterate."
