  1. A
    Replenish
  2. B
    Abstain
  3. C
    Restore
  4. D
    Destroy

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The relationship between 'Cease' and 'Desist' is that they are synonyms (both mean to stop doing something).
Similarly, we need to find a synonym for 'Eradicate' (which means to completely destroy or put an end to something).

'Replenish' means to refill.

'Abstain' means to refrain from something.

'Restore' means to bring back.

'Destroy' is a synonym for eradicate.

Therefore, 'Destroy' is the correct related word.
