D Correct answer
Explanation

To wean means to gradually withdraw someone from a habit or dependency, or to accustom a young animal to food other than its mother's milk. 'Withdraw' captures this sense of removal or gradual detachment. 'Appoint' and 'Admit' are unrelated, while 'Remove' is too general.
