Explanation:

Insisted- demanded something forcefully Provoked- stimulated or gave rise to Incited-encouraged or stirred up Determined -discovered, learnt 'Resulted' cannot be put in the first blank as it would require the preposition 'in'. Taking option B into consideration, 'fear' cannot fit in the second blank as we need the participle form of the verb. Option C, if put in the blanks will convey contradictory ideas. An outcry will not be activated if people support an idea. Option E is incorrect as the phrase 'angered an outcry' is grammatically wrong. The words mentioned in option C perfectly fit in the blanks. If people find out that mercury is harmful, they will raise an outcry against its dumping. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
