The sentence indicates a heated debate where both sides would passionately support their arguments. The word "defend" correctly fits the context, meaning to protect or uphold one's arguments.
Dissolve means to melt away or disband, which doesn’t fit here.
Deceit refers to dishonesty, not appropriate in this context.
Docile means submissive or easily controlled, irrelevant to arguments.
Disrupt means to interrupt or cause disorder, which doesn’t fit logically.
Therefore, "defend" is the most suitable option.
