Correct Answer: Resort


Solution : The correct choice is the first option "resort."

It means that some individuals may turn to politics as a last option or means of gaining power or influence when other means have failed, and "resort" fits perfectly in the sentence.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Retort: A quick and often sharp or witty reply or response to a comment or question.
  • Report: A written or spoken account that provides information about an event, situation, or topic.
  • Result: The outcome or consequence of an action, event, or process.

Therefore, the complete sentence is "Politics is the last resort of scoundrels".
