The correct word here is 'Disdain.' It means 'the feeling that someone or something is unworthy of one's consideration or respect.' This is similar to the meaning of the word 'contemn' which means 'the feeling that a person or a thing is worthless or beneath consideration.' 

Contend => struggle to surmount (a difficulty). 

Contest => a competition for a position.

Explore => travel through (an unfamiliar area) in order to learn about it.
