Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: released
Explanation: 'released' means 'made public' and correctly completes the sentence: 'The ministry released a state-wise list of all these hospitals.'
unleash — Means to set loose something powerful or uncontrollable; it does not collocate with 'a state-wise list' and sounds unnatural here.
disengage — Means to detach or stop being involved; it does not mean 'make public' and does not fit the context.
released — Correct: commonly used with 'a list' to mean the authority made it public.
withdraw — Means to take back or remove; would imply pulling the list back rather than publishing it, so it does not match the sentence.
Therefore, 'released' is the correct choice because it accurately expresses that the ministry made the state-wise list public.
