Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "rebellion", we analyze the root "bel" (meaning war) and the prefix "re - " (often meaning against or back). The first option is about law enforcement, the second about teamwork, neither related to war. The third option, "the act of rising up in armed opposition to the government", involves conflict/war - like opposition, matching the root's meaning.
