What does the term "Opted" refer to?

Decide
Refuse
Ignore
Disregard

The correct answer is: Decide

The term "opted" is derived from the verb "opt," which means to make a choice or decision from a range of possibilities. When someone "opts" for something, they are actively deciding to select that option over others. In this context, the choice reflects the idea of making a deliberate decision, which aligns with the meaning of "decide." The other options indicate forms of non-action or negative choices, which do not align with the concept of making a decision. Therefore, the correct understanding of "opted" centers around the act of choosing, which is best captured by the term "decide."
