Abhorrent and execrable both mean horrible or sickening.

Pestilence means a disease or epidemic. Indolent means lazy. 

The context of the sentence suggests that the blank must contain an adjective that is appropriate for 'violence committed'. 

The only apt options here are A and D.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
