It is "Appropriation" . Look at the first part of the sentence "freedom of the seas" --->was challenged by a contrary notion .So only word that answers this is "appropriation" which means setting aside for a specific purpose especially used in terms of islands and seas.
What made Dr Hawking €™s revelation so _________ to the religious establishment, and so __________to its ideological opponents, was that until now he was regarded as an ally of faith.

OA: b
Explanation
First of all understand the essence of the 3 lines. Let me break these three lines into three parts to answer the question.
1.)What made Dr Hawking €™s revelation so _________ to the religious establishment
2.) and so __________to its ideological opponents
Honestly first two lines won't give you the result .It is the third line which is important here.So let us see.
3.)was that until now he was regarded as an ally of faith.
Here the key words are "until now" and "ally of faith". He was considered someone who had faith in religion "until" he said something "negative" to the religious establishment. So ans boils down to 2 options a and b. Now revelation that is "offensive or jarring" to the religious opponents must be the opposite word of above words. Mellifluous is opposite of jarring which can't be said about "pertinent" which means relevant to a particular situation but it is not the opposite of offensive which we are looking for.
