arouse

- Option 1: Raise

- "Raise" is a transitive verb needing an object. For example, you raise a flag. It doesn't fit here as no object follows.

- Option 2: Arise

- "Arise" is the correct intransitive verb to use when talking about problems occurring unexpectedly. It means to come into being.

- Problems often arise when you least expect them.

- Option 3: Rise

- "Rise" means to move upwards. It does not fit contextually since problems don't physically rise.

- Option 4: Arouse

- "Arouse" means to evoke a reaction or a feeling and typically needs an object, which isn't the case here.
