Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (D) Dissociate

Explanation

Uncover reverses or negates cover. The conventional opposite of associate is dissociate, meaning separate or disconnect. Thus D forms the analogous word pair, while the other options do not provide the standard intended antonym.
