Correct Answer: Outcome

Solution : The correct answer is the first option.

Outcome is the best synonym for consequence because both convey the idea of what happens as a result of an action or situation and outcome specifically refers to the way a situation or event turns out.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

• Origin: The point or place where something begins, arises, or is derived; the starting point.

• Start: To begin or commence an action, process, or event.

• Begin: To start or commence; to perform the initial part or stage of an action or process.
