"Confer" is a verb that means grant an honor or title or discuss something with someone. While "conifer" might sound like the correct answer since it sounds very similar to "confer," "conifer" is a noun that means a tree that has green needles for leaves and cones. Since "conifer" does not mean the same thing as "confer," "conifer" cannot be the correct answer. Since "give" means the same thing as grant, however, "give" is the correct answer.
