Formalize |
The correct answer is option 4. Formalize.
"Abolish" means to officially end or put an end to something, such as a system, practice, or institution.
The antonym we're looking for should describe an action that involves establishing or making something official.
"Formalize" fits this description perfectly. It means to give something a definite or official form or structure, often implying the establishment of rules, procedures, or standards.
Therefore, "formalize" is the appropriate antonym for "abolish" because it represents the opposite action—establishing or making official instead of ending or removing.
