The word "allocate" means to assign or set aside (something) for a particular purpose. In this context, allocating memory means setting aside a specific amount of storage space in the computer's memory for a field. Choosing "assign" is also a viable option, but "allocate" is more specific to the process of setting aside storage space. "Append" and "increment" are not appropriate choices for this definition.
