The flow of sentence is --
The Tasmanian Devil (TD) is not considered X, since only a few human confrontations (HC) were Y
Human confrontation is the clue and Y can be best filled by unprovoked. Rest of the options do not go along well. Okay, so only a few HCs were unprovoked.
Provided that, we can consider the TD to be non-threatening. The question stem already contains "not considered X" so X should be the opposite of non-threatening => Threatening => Menacing.
