Explanation please

Can anyone give me the explanation of this?

i went with a. Is this answer A?

my explanation:
its support.
none of this mattered → so didn’t like it → for the second blank.

option a - looks good
option d - maybe
option b,c,e → doesn’t make sense

for the first blank , option d (reviled) → there is not evidence for that
so I went with a
