Answer: A) overlook
The most appropriate antonym of the underlined word "contemplate" is:
overlook
"Contemplate" means to think about something deeply or consider it carefully, while "overlook" means to ignore or fail to notice something, which is the opposite of contemplating it.

• Deviate means to stray from a path or direction, which is not directly related to the opposite of contemplation.
• Follow up means to pursue further action, which doesn't relate to contemplating or ignoring.
• Understate means to present something as less important than it is, which isn't an antonym of contemplate.
