    Solution

    The word ‘elicit’ means ‘to get or produce something, especially information or a reaction’. This is the correct word here. The words ‘excite’, ‘obtain’ and ‘achieve’ are inappropriate here. Ticks rank right up there with bats, snakes and spiders as creatures that elicit fear and disgust at the mere mention of their name.
