This question stem sets up a contrast; some residents are displaced while others enjoy the new additions to the community.

Choice(C)-ardor (meaning great emotion or passion), Choice (D)-parapet (meaning fortification consisting of a low wall and, Choice (F)-culmination (meaning conclusion) are all off-topic for this sentence.
