Correct Answer: derogatory


Solution : The correct answer is the first option.

Explanation : In the given sentence, the blank is followed by the term "wasteland," suggesting that the term is being characterised or described. The term "wasteland" is often used in a negative or disparaging manner to refer to a barren or desolate area. So, the adjective that appropriately fits in the blank is " derogatory ."

So, the correct sentence would be: "The derogatory term 'wasteland' is proposed to be replaced by the term 'urban commons.'"
