A Correct answer
Explanation

Abdicate means to formally renounce or give up power, authority, or a throne. The opposite would be to assert, claim, or take power. Claim is the correct antonym as it means to assert or take possession of something, including power or authority. Snatch, Plunder, and Seize suggest taking by force, which is not the opposite of voluntarily giving up power.
