    Solution

    Explanation: Disrepute (highlighted word): "Disrepute" refers to the state of being held in low regard, loss of respect or reputation. Options:   (a) Esteem: This is the opposite of the intended meaning. "Esteem" refers to high regard, respect, or admiration. (b) Misrepute: This is a plausible choice but is not as commonly used as "disrepute." Both convey a negative impact on reputation. (c) Misregard: This is not a standard term. "Misregard" is not commonly used in English, and it doesn't convey the intended meaning. (d) Disrepute: This is the correct word. "Disrepute" fits well in the context and means a loss of respect or a damaged reputation.
