Answer : 4. "Assign"
Explanation :
The word "consign" means put someone or something in (a place) in order to be rid of it or them and "assign" means designate or set (something) aside for a specific purpose.
Therefore, "consign" can be replaced with "assign" in the sentence, without changing its meaning.
Hence, 4 is the correct option.
