A
blacken; defame
💡 Explanation:
To denigrate means to criticize unfairly, disparage, belittle, or attack someone's reputation - literally 'to blacken' someone's character through defamatory remarks. Option A describes 'deplete'. Option B describes 'depose' or 'dismiss'. Option C is an adjective, not related to the verb denigrate.
