A Correct answer
Explanation

Evoked means brought out, drew forth, or elicited a response or reaction. Questions that provoked someone and drew a bitter retort 'evoked' it. 'Evinced' means showed or demonstrated; 'invoked' means called upon (often a higher power or right); 'resulted' is passive and usually followed by 'in'.
