The sentence suggests that the blank must contain a word that means 'coming into effect' or 'started with' in legal terms.

The only word that shows this meaning is 'enactment'.

The meanings of the other words are as follows:

Entitled: believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment.
 
Enchantment: a feeling of great pleasure; delight.
 
Respire: breathe.
 
Dangerousable or likely to cause harm or injury.$

 

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
