B Correct answer
Explanation

In formal contexts, 'give' can mean to grant, permit, or authorize - which aligns with 'sanction'. To sanction is to give official approval or permission. While 'withhold' is an antonym and 'reserve' means to hold back, 'sanction' correctly captures the sense of granting permission.
