D Correct answer
Explanation

As the clause after 'because' is an explanation to the first part of the statement, this implies that the blank must be replaced by a word that means irregularity. Hence, 'anomaly' (irregularity) fits our prediction. 'Ambiguity' means doubtfulness. Hence, option (4) is the correct answer.
