Explanation
You’d like a word that contrasts with conciliatory, since the word comparatively suggests an opposition. You’d also like a word that sensibly modifies attack. You might anticipate something as simple as “attacking.” Truculent and savage both suggest a disposition to fight.
Hence options truculent, savage are best fit!
