Explanation:

- ABNEGATE means to renounce or reject something formally, such as a responsibility or a right.

- Sentence A: "The government could not abnegate responsibility for the defects." This sentence correctly uses "abnegate" as it talks about rejecting or renouncing responsibility.

- Sentence B: "Recently the firm has been connected with more abnegate bids than successes." This sentence uses "abnegate" incorrectly as it does not make sense for bids to renounce or reject something; probably meant to use a word like "unsuccessful" or similar.

- Sentence C: "Many churches make audio or video recordings of their services available for an abnegate charge." Using "abnegate" here doesn't fit, as it implies renouncing or rejecting something. Maybe a word like "nominal" was intended here.
