Solution
The correct option is B Charm The word, 'enchant' is a verb which means 'to attract or please someone very much'. The word, 'charm' is a verb which means 'please/delight someone greatly'. As both the words mean the same, option B is correct.
The word, 'chant' is a verb which means 'repeat a rhythmic phrase, typically sing in unison by a crowd'.
The word, 'distract' is a verb which means 'prevent (someone) from concentrating on something'.
The word, 'divert' is a verb which means 'cause (someone or something) to change course or turn from one direction to another'.
As all the above three words are quite different in meaning from the word, 'enchant', options A, C and D are incorrect.
