Which term refers to the act of diminishing the effectiveness of safety protocols?

  1. Accentuate

  2. Compromise

  3. Enhance

  4. Strengthen

The correct answer is: Compromise

The term that refers to the act of diminishing the effectiveness of safety protocols is "compromise." When safety protocols are compromised, it means that their integrity or effectiveness has been weakened, often due to irresponsible actions, negligence, or other factors that may interfere with their proper implementation. In contrast, other choices imply an increase or improvement in some form. For example, "accentuate" means to enhance or bring attention to something, while "enhance" and "strengthen" both suggest making something more robust or effective. Therefore, these terms do not align with the idea of diminishing effectiveness.
