Answer is Right!
The correct answer is C. amassed.
To amass is to accumulate or gather a large amount of something, especially money or possessions. In this case, the family has accumulated wealth over the years. This means that they have gradually acquired a large amount of money or possessions.
The other options are incorrect because they have different meanings.
- To drain something is to empty it out or use up all of its contents.
- To squander something is to waste it or spend it foolishly.
- To disperse something is to spread it out or scatter it.
