B.laziness
C.weakness

Answer 1

The correct answer is "Rashness" this answer was not posted in the question above, but it was the correct answer in my curriculum Oddessyware.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C.

The word "Agbala" is a way of refering to women in Igbo culture.

Since women were considered to be weaker than men, the word became demeaning, like an insult, when it was used to refer to a man, since it meant that he was weak like a woman.
