Answer & explanation
Answer: B) Dwell
Meaning: reside = to live in a place permanently or for a long time *(निवास करना, रहना)*.
dwell = to live in a particular place *(रहना, बसना)* — the exact match.
He *resides* in Lucknow; his ancestors *dwelt* there for generations.
Why the others are wrong.
• depart = to leave, go away *(प्रस्थान करना)* — the opposite of staying.
• move = to change one's home or position *(स्थान बदलना)* — the act of shifting, not of living somewhere.
• resign = to give up a job or post *(त्यागपत्र देना)* — a sound-alike trap on *re-*; nothing to do with a home.
*Resident, residence, dwelling — all point to where a person lives.*
