Solution

The correct option is C detest
Option B: 'Abominate' means 'detest, hate someone very much'.
'Detest' means 'dislike intensely, hate someone or something very much'.
This word means the same as the given italicized word. Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'Eradicate' means 'destroy completely, put an end to'.
Option C: 'Condemn' means 'express complete disapproval of, censure'.
Option D: 'Violate' means 'break or fail to comply with'.
These words do not mean the same as the given word 'abominate'.
So, options A, C and D are wrong.
