    A friendly , indulging Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B aggressive , indulging Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C belligerent , embroil Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D good , participate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A tone of any person can’t  be friendly or good in an argument, therefore optns 1) & 4) already ruled out. Aggressive and belligerent are synonyms but we ‘usually’ indulge ourselves in something good and ‘embroil’ in a conflict or argument. Hence, optn 3 suits best.
