Answer:
B. was hesitant to act against his values
Explanation:
One dictionary meaning of the word compromise is; to expediently accept standards lower than is desirable. In the context of the sentence above, Juvencio's hesitation to do something so as to resolve the dispute can be attributed to the feeling he had that his standards had been compromised.
He did not want to accept standards that were lower than what he believed in, hence, his unwillingness to settle the dispute.
