Answer

Brief Explanations:

The context is about drivers' perception of the toll on the Queenston - Lewiston Bridge. "Warranted" means justified. If some drivers believe a higher toll needs justification, it implies they think the current toll may not be justified or "warranted". "Exorbitant" means extremely high, but there's no indication the current toll is extremely high just that it may lack justification. "Equivocal" means ambiguous and "contentious" means causing controversy, neither of which fit the context as well as "warranted" in terms of drivers' perception of justification.
