Explanation:

The first sentence requires an adjective that would be appropriate to describe 'defeat'. Sentence B uses that same word as a verb. Of all the given options only 'express', 'asseverate' and 'utter' can be used as a verb. But, only 'utter' can describe defeat.
As an adjective ‘utter’ means ‘absolute’. As a verb it means ‘to say something aloud’.
Hence, the correct answer is option D.
