Explanation:

• contemporary: The root "contempor-" relates to time, and "contemporary" means belonging to the same time, so it matches "modern or current".
• conservation: The root "conserve" means to preserve or save, so "conservation" is about preservation or saving up.
• pathological: "Patho-" can relate to disease or abnormal conditions, and "pathological" can describe compulsive or irrational (in a medical/abnormal behavior sense) behavior.
• exclusion: "Ex-" means out, and "clusion" (from "claudere" to close) means to close out, so it means leaving out.
• extracurricular: "Extra-" means beyond, and "curricular" relates to school curriculum, so it means beyond scholastics.

Answer:

• contemporary: modern or current
