A Correct answer
Explanation

Heighten means to increase, raise, or make more intense. 'Intensify' is the direct synonym meaning to make stronger or more severe. 'Birthright' means inherited rights, 'obstruct' means to block, and 'outrageous' means shocking or grossly offensive - only intensify matches the meaning of heighten.
