Detailed Solution

Concept: 'Authorize' implies to grant official permission or approval for anything (an undertaking or agent) .
"The administration has allowed additional aircraft manufacture."
The department chairmen declined to authorize in this context, which means they refused to grant the requisition.
A request is when you ask someone for something in a polite manner, such as permission. The department chairmen refused to seek the demand,' for example, does not communicate the same idea as the original text.
The term 'transfer' in option b refers to moving something from one location to another. It is definitely inappropriate in the context of the statement.
‘Grant’. 'The department chairmen declined to grant the requisition,' says the phrase.
‘Project’ means to portray or represent something. The given sentence does not imply that the department chairmen did not portray the requisition.
The term 'invalidate' in option e refers to the process of making something no longer usable.
Hence, option 3 is correct.
