A respect Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B support Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C majority Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D consensus Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Solution: Here, ‘majority’ should be the correct word to be used. The word ‘support’ and ‘respect’ do not fit the third sentence. The word ‘consensus’ means ‘a generally accepted opinion or decision among a group of people’. It does not fit the first sentence.
