The logic followed here is:

Given:

INTIMATE : CLOSE → Intimate is synonym of close.

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) evanescent : permanency → Incorrect as evanescent is antonym of permanency.

Option 2) articulate : speech → Incorrect as a person who articulates speaks well, but is not a synonym.

Option 3) enclose : parentheses → Incorrect as parentheses enclose something, but is not a synonym.

Option 4) obsessed : attracted → Correct as obsessed is synonym of attracted.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.
