Answer:
A: occult
Step-by-step explanation:
Occult is "supernatural, mystical, or magical beliefs, practices, or phenomena".
Conviction is "a firmly held belief or opinion".
Constitution is "the composition of something".
B and C make sense when applying the definitions of the underlined words; however, A makes no sense. He read his "supernatural" in the paper each morning? He read his "phenomena" in the paper each morning? Occult is the word being used incorrectly here.
