Solution
The correct option is B Defend All the given words are verbs.
'Implicate' means 'show (someone) to be involved in a crime'. 'Arraign' means 'call or bring (someone) before a court to answer a criminal charge'. 'Accuse' means 'charge (someone) with an offence or crime'. 'Incriminate' means 'make (someone) appear guilty of a crime or wrongdoing'.
As all the above words have similar meanings, options A, C and D are incorrect.
'Defend' means 'protect someone (or something) from harm or danger'. It also means 'conduct the case for (the party being accused) in a lawsuit'. It carries a meaning which is different from the other words. Hence, option B is correct.
