Solution
The correct option is C Cancelled
'Revoke' means to officially cancel (a decree, decision, or promise).
"the men appealed and the sentence was revoked"
In this context, "Deciding that the terrible accident was largely due to his reckless driving, the police revoked his driver's license.", 'revoked' means cancelled. Hence, option C is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
