Solution
Select a noun meaning 'firm determination' that contrasts with 'initial hesitation' and collocates with 'never wavered'.
The contrast introduced by 'Despite his initial hesitation' and the predicate 'never wavered' require a noun meaning firm determination or commitment. 'Resolve' (as a noun) means firm determination to do something. 'Ambivalence' means mixed feelings, 'satisfaction' does not fit the infinitive 'to contribute', and 'revolve' is a verb.
Option (C)
Confusing the verb 'revolve' with the noun 'resolve'.
