D Correct answer
Explanation

To belie means to give a false impression to or disguise. Here, the person's youthful appearance hides their actual age. 'Validates' means to confirm, 'renounces' means to give up, and 'reverses' means to turn around - none of which convey the idea of hiding the truth through appearance.
