<span> Answer: D. to provide</span>
<span>By
definition divest means ’ to deprive something’ – a property, title, authority
or even dress or clothing. Among the choices the best answer would be letter D:
to provide. To provide is to give something. To control is to establish
authority over another which is a bit off when paired against divest. To devise
is to plan or make something new out if the already existing thing in front. And
when paired against divest, it just does not fit, somehow.</span>
