A Correct answer
Explanation

Ebb means to recede or flow back, particularly used for tides (ebb tide) when the water moves away from the shore. The other options are incorrect: 'selective' relates to making choices, 'path of the sun and planets' refers to orbits or ecliptic, and 'set aside' means to reserve or disregard.
