D Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence requires a noun that can serve as the object of 'bear.' 'Hatred' is the correct noun form of 'hate.' 'Hating' and 'Hated' are verb forms (present participle and past tense respectively), and 'Hate' can be either a verb or the noun form but 'Hatred' is the abstract noun form that fits best.
