The government is keen on intermediaries sharing certain data with law enforcement agencies to identify the origin of ‘sexually violent’ content. The issue of tracing the origin of “unlawful” content is already a bone of contention between the government and WhatsApp, which was recently pulled up by the Centre after being misused to spread fake news. What can be said about the attitude of the WhatsApp toward making the origin of a (unlawful) content on WhatsApp accessible to the law-enforcement agencies?

Insidious

Exuberant

Fanatical

Reluctant

Vehement

Explanation:

Contention [noun] means ‘heated disagreement’. The paragraph suggests that on the issue of making accessible the origin of a content on WhatsApp is a heated disagreement between the Government and WhatsApp. Meaning that the WhatsApp is reluctant toward making the origin of a content on WhatsApp accessible to the law enforcement agencies. Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
Insidious [noun] ‘Proceeding in a gradual, subtle way, but with very harmful effects’;
Exuberant [adjective] ‘Full of energy, excitement, and cheerfulness’;
Fanatical [adjective] ‘Filled with excessive and single-minded zeal.’;
Vehement [adjective] ‘Showing strong feeling; forceful, passionate, or intense’;
