Charm is a kind of appeal or attactiveness, and its both presence or lack are discounted here. So, focus is entirely on the part of the sentence following a blank. To be deterrent means to set off or call quit by enforcing action or simply intimidating. The right pair is minatory and menacing. Correct answers are B, C.
