Option (A): This is not appropriate as bribes have nothing to do with the lack of respect or fear of the law.

Option (B): This seems reasonable as the phrase gives the reason for this lack of respect or fear of the law.

Option (C): This also seems correct as the phrase gives the consequence of this lack of respect or fear of the law.

Option (D): This is incorrect as it is out of context.

Complete Sentence:
