Correct Answer: innocuous


Solution : The second option is correct.

Innocuous means not harmful or offensive, and in this context, it suggests that the Hollywood film in question is perceived as harmless or non-threatening.

The sentence implies a contrast between the seemingly harmless nature of the film and the unexpected hostile reaction it has provoked, prompting the question of why such a negative response occurred.

Therefore, the correct answer will be innocuous.
