A Correct answer
Explanation

Cavil means to raise petty or trivial objections, to find fault with unimportant details. 'Raise trivial objections' is the precise definition. 'Surrender' and 'suppress' are actions, not arguments. 'Prejudiced' and 'inexperienced' describe people, not the act of objecting.
