D Correct answer
Explanation

Filthy and untimely can't fit in the 1st blank. So, (1) and (3) are ruled out. 'Slated' is itself a negative word, so, 'slated wrong' would not make sense. Only 'proved' fits in 1st blank. Moreover, considering the ideals of Karl Marx productivity and enormous fit well in 2nd and 3rd blanks.
