Explanation:

Correct Answer is (c).The original sentence is erroneous.
Reason: This is an error of proximity. The verb is made to agree with the nearer noun, not the subject. The subject is not ‘values’. Here, ‘affirming’ is the subject which is singular and should be used with singular verb. Hence ‘reduces’ should be used in place of ‘reduce’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.
Among the given choices, only option C replaces the given bold part most appropriately.
The sentence after replacement becomes:
Affirming shared values reduces the feeling of being attacked.Option C is hence the correct answer.
