Correct option- 5

On looking at the above-mentioned passage, we observe that it is based on a moral teaching of a monk to a samurai. When the wicked and arrogant samurai ordered the monk to teach him about hell and heaven, looking at his rude behaviour, the monk refused to teach him and told him that he was a shame to the samurai class. Thus, the only word that best fits in the blank is disgrace which means someone or something that brings dishonour and shame. Whereas, other words describe a positive quality. Thus, the correct answer is disgrace.
