Explanation
While the environmental movement is said to have been around awhile, the second half of the sentence says that it “only recently” become “a serious organization.”
This means that the answer choices disorganized and nebulous don’t quite work. The other pair, inconsequential and immaterial, is needlessly negative.
Incipient and nascent capture the idea that, while the movement has been around for a while, it is only just now becoming a serious and relevant organization.
An incipient, a nascent are best fit!
