Solution
The correct option is D repulsive
The noun is a name of a person, place or a thing. The adjective modifies or describes the noun. The word 'repulsion' is a noun. Some words can be changed into an adjective by adding suffix - ive at the end of the word. Thus, the adjective form of the given word is 'repulsive'. This is made from the verb 'repulse' where 'e' is removed and ive is added. The given sentence would be complete by using an adjective 'repulsive' which is modifying the noun 'behavior'. Hence, option B is the correct answer. Options A, C, and D are incorrect answers.
