Option 2: Differentiate

Option 3: Contract

Option 4: Expand

AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

The correct antonym of the term "DILATE" is Contract. "Dilate" means to expand or open wider, especially in terms of physical spaces or biological functions (like the pupil of an eye or blood vessels). The term refers to an increase in size or diameter. "Contract" represents the opposite action - to become smaller, to shrink, or to decrease in size. When something contracts, it reduces its dimensions, which directly opposes the expansion implied by dilation. Hence, the correct answer is Option 3 - Contract.
