B Correct answer
Explanation

Restitution means restoring something to its rightful owner or making amends for a wrong that has been done. Reparation refers to compensation or payment made to those who have suffered harm, which is very close in meaning to restitution. Cancel means to revoke or void, revenge means retaliation, and supposed means assumed or presumed - none of these capture the restorative aspect of restitution.
