Solution
The correct option is C cherish
Neglect means fail to care for properly. The opposite of neglect is cherish, or protect and care for (someone) lovingly. Hence, Option B is correct. Among the rest of the options, follow means go or come after (a person or thing proceeding ahead); move or travel behind, praise means to express warm approval or admiration of, grasp means seize and hold firmly. These options do not express this antonym, hence incorrect.
