CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
"Ought" is the only modal that takes "to" before its verb: "we ought to respect". "Ought to" gives advice or a duty, like "should".
Worth noting
"Should" has the right meaning, but "should to respect" is wrong. The "to" in the sentence fits only "ought".
