The answer is D: burden

The need of more public services is an issue that most people agree. Nevertheless, there is an argument that understands and manifests concern regarding the Proposition S specifically, which, instead of bringing benefits, would only burden Northfield and other cities with strong governments and business-friendly policies.

To burden: a duty or responsability that is hard to bear.
