Let us take a look at each of the answer choices:
1. A - barbarism : This sounds plain wrong and also doesn't fit anywhere within the context of the sentence
2. B - Perfidy - This means treachery. keep this one. The sentence talks about an extension of dis loyalty. This could be it !!
3. C - Integrity - This is opposite in meaning to the intending word in the sentence
4. D - Blasphemy - Another completely wrong choice
5. E - Abandonment - This could have 2 meanings namely, desert and leave or complete surrender of all inhibitions. Taking the first meaning, the sentence seems to fit on first glance but then you notice that it does not suit the sentence and is stylistically wrong. Also dis loyalty means that they were not disgruntled. They did not want to do the revolutionary act any more. An extension of disloyalty is to turn against the system or to commit treachery. Hence, this choice is also discounted.
The final answer is B - Perfidy.
Also, it seems to fit and sound nice in the sentence if you play it by ear. I tend to do that a lot...
