Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct order after the given phrase "Propensity to addiction":
in other words, is not a, predisposition of the individual, but the result of social contest.
Explanation:
"in other words, is not a" must immediately follow the given phrase because it introduces a rephrasing or clarification of that idea.
"predisposition of the individual" completes the negative clause started by "is not a."
"but the result of social contest" introduces a contrast (signaled by "but") and therefore follows the clause it contrasts.
Putting these together after "Propensity to addiction" yields: "Propensity to addiction, in other words, is not a predisposition of the individual, but the result of social contest."
