Solution

The correct option is D Exchange
Barter implies to trade by exchange of commodities rather than by the use of money. So, the word that can replace 'barter' is 'exchange'.
Traverse is to ski across a hill or slope on a diagonal.
To keep is to hold or have the use of something for a period of time.
To persuade is to prevail on a person to do something, as by advising or urging.
