B Correct answer
Explanation

To waive means to voluntarily give up a right, claim, or privilege. Relinquish means to voluntarily cease keeping or claiming something; to give up or let go of. These are nearly identical in meaning - both involve voluntary surrender of something one could claim. Restrict is the opposite, while permit and admit are unrelated concepts.
