Please don't () about he travel. It's safe.

Explanation:
This tests how we choose a verb that naturally pairs with “about” after a polite request. In this context, expressing concern is the intended feeling, and the common way to do that is with “worry about.” So the sentence reads, “Please don’t worry about his travel. It’s safe.” The other options don’t fit as smoothly: “talk about” would mean discussing the travel, which isn’t the same idea as reassurance; “laugh about” would imply treating the travel lightly, contradicting the reassurance; and “ignore” isn’t used in this structure with “about” and would not express the intended sense.
