ararcty

Explanation:

The context describes a heinous act during war. "Atrocity" means a very cruel or wicked act, which fits the description of the event against humanity. "Subtle" means not obvious, which is not relevant. "Paradox" is a self - contradictory statement, not applicable here. "Expendable" means able to be sacrificed, also not fitting the context.

Answer:

A. Atrocity
