Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The customer's attempt to burn down the restaurant is an extreme form of retaliation, making option D the best choice. Option C is also similar, but "rancorous revenge" is not as specific as "retaliatory revenge." Option A refers to the negative attention brought to the restaurant but does not necessarily involve action on the part of the customer, and option B is too general as many disgruntled customers may engage in complaining behaviour without resorting to extreme measures.
