    A "free state" is a place that does not allow slavery. This term refers to a region or country that has abolished or never allowed the practice of owning and exploiting individuals as slaves. In a free state, all individuals are considered equal and have the right to freedom and basic human rights.

    A. Banish
    Explanation
    Banish is the correct answer because it means to force someone to leave or to exile them. It implies a deliberate action of removing someone from a place or group as a form of punishment or to get rid of them. Disperse means to scatter or spread out, disown means to refuse to acknowledge or accept someone, and exile means to be forced to live away from one's home or country.
