I feel the keywords here are

the second blank has to have a -ve word
so we are left with options a,c,d
and as per the first keyword option c is out and left with a and d

becoz we have the word unruly I feel its answer is d

plzz correct if wrong

Gre exam, even i thought in similar lines. I started with 1st blank which clearly was a -tive word. So that eliminated C. 2nd blanks key word was disrupt. So when somebody disrupts we are left with mess, so eliminate b,e.

We are left with a and d. Here the keyword is again disrupt. Disrupt yields chaos and not confusion. So D
