Nurture most nearly means

ignore
neglect
stifle
cultivate

The correct answer is: ignore

"Nurture" means to take care of, protect, or encourage growth and development. Therefore, "ignore," "neglect," and "stifle" are incorrect options as they all have negative connotations and are the opposite of nurturing. Option D, "cultivate," is the opposite of the three incorrect options and also aligns with the definition of "nurture," making it the most fitting answer.
