C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'concern'. The context 'expressed some _____ over the sudden increase' requires a noun that shows worry or apprehension about something negative. 'Concern' fits perfectly - you express concern over unexpected or troubling developments like sudden expense increases. Compliance means following rules, consent means permission, and control means authority - none fit the context of expressing worry.
