Answer. C.
‘Concur’ means to agree and is not apt for the first blank. ‘Compare’ cannot be the word for the first blank. ‘Conform with’ is not possible as it should be ‘Conform to’. Hence the correct words for the two blanks are ‘comply’ and ‘invoked.’

Complicity for the second blank is not apt. Addiction ‘with’ is inappropriate as addiction is followed by ‘to’. In the context of Pakistan it cannot be detachment. So the apt words are ‘obsession’ and ‘reciprocity.’
