What does inter mean?

• A. To exhume remains.
• B. To transfer interment rights.
• C. To cremate remains.
• D. To bury human remains.

Answer: (D)

Inter means to place human remains into a burial space, such as a grave or tomb. It describes the act of burying. This is why the option describing burying human remains fits best. The other terms refer to different actions: exhuming is digging up already buried remains; transferring interment rights concerns ownership or permission to use a burial plot; cremation is the process of reducing remains to ashes.
