Answer:

C. disrespect

Step-by-step explanation:

impertinence means to be rude or disrespectful.

in your sentence, it says that acting with impertinence won't earn friendship, and if you substitute impertinence with rudeness (acting with rudeness won't earn friendship), it would be the most accurate option out of the three provided.
