Correct Answer: contestation


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Contestation refers to disagreement, opposition, or conflict, and it accurately conveys the idea that the root of the problem lies in the confrontational approach rather than the problem itself. It aligns well with the context of the passage, emphasising the role of confrontational behaviour in causing disputes.

Therefore, the right word to fill in the blank is contestation.
