A.) To hitch a boat to a dock
B.) To provide protection
C.) To detain or imprison
D.) To declare war on

Answer 1

B..) To provide protection

Answer 2

B.) To provide protection

Step-by-step explanation:

In the sentence, "to harbor" mean to provide protection to somebody. The actual meaning of harbor refers to a place where ships and boats can be docked in the water. There is no water body or ocean present around Afghanistan so the actual meaning of harbor does not apply. So that's why the harbor word is used for giving protection.
