Use a dictionary to find out what all of those words mean, then replace the word 'gravity' with each and read the sentence and see if it makes sense.

I would have to say "D" Seriousness. Go to dictionary.com and you will see it says serious or dignified behavior; dignity; solemnity: to preserve one's gravity.
