What is the meaning of "dilate" or "dilator"?

  1. Enlarge or widen

  2. In the blood

  3. Stomach

  4. High; above normal

The correct answer is: Enlarge or widen

"Enlarge" is a synonym for "dilate", meaning it refers to the act of increasing in size or expanding. Option B is incorrect because "in the blood" does not relate to the meaning of "dilate". Option C is incorrect because "stomach" refers to a part of the body and not a definition. Option D is incorrect because "high" or "above normal" does not relate to the meaning of "dilate", which refers to size or measurement rather than quantity or level.
