Correct Answer: revenge

Solution : The most appropriate meaning of the underlined word is the first option.

Revenge means the act of harming or taking action against someone in response to a grievance either real or perceived. This meaning aligns with the context of the sentence, which suggests that retaliation is not the key to resolving problems.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

• Outcome is the result or consequence of an action.

• Realisation is the act of becoming aware of something or understanding it clearly.

• Pamper is to indulge or spoil someone with excessive care or attention.
