Since the sentence talks about the accidental causes of forest fires, we can assume that they happen due to inattention. This meaning is shared by choices C and E, negligence and carelessness.

Negligence means ‘failure to take proper care over something’ and carelessness means ‘failure to give sufficient attention to avoiding harm or errors.

The rest of the choices A, B, D and F are irrelevant as their meanings are:

Repellent=> able to repel a particular thing; impervious to a particular substance

Aromatic=> having a pleasant and distinctive smell

Wise=> having or showing experience, knowledge, and good judgement

Wily=> skilled at gaining an advantage, especially deceitfully

Hence the correct answer is option 1.
