Solution

The correct option is E delude
Option E: 'Delude' means 'to make someone believe something that is not true'. Here 'some people' make themselves believe that "they are indispensable (absolutely necessary) to the organisation they work for" even though it's not true.
Hence this word forms a complete meaningful sentence and option E is correct.
Option A: 'Keep' means 'to own or have in possession'.
Option B: 'Persuade' means 'to make someone do something by convincing them to do it'.
Option C: 'Force' means 'make someone do something against their will'.
Option D: 'Denigrate' means 'to say that something or someone is not good or important'.
These words are not the most suitable to the sentence in meaning and relevance.
Hence options A, B, C and D are incorrect.
