Answer 1

The correct option is D disinterest

The highlighted word means 'having no interest or opinion'.

Option D is correct. 'Disinterest' means 'having no interest'. Thus, it has the required meaning and is the correct answer.

Options A, B and C are incorrect. They do not have the required meaning.

'Caution' means 'carefulness', 'Displeasure' means 'feeling annoyed' and 'Concern' means 'care'.
