D Correct answer
Explanation

Absorption means deep involvement or complete attention to something. When someone is totally absorbed in sport, they're fully focused on it to the detriment of other responsibilities like work. 'Abration' is not a standard word, 'abrogation' means formal repeal, and 'absolution' means formal forgiveness - these don't fit the context.
