A Correct answer
Explanation

The Sanskrit word 'saṅkoca' (सङ्कोच) means 'contraction', 'hesitation', 'shrinking', 'reserve', or 'restraint'. It refers to holding back, hesitating, or feeling restrained/reserved. While related to emotions like shame (which might cause shrinking back), the primary meaning is hesitation or reserve, not anger or desire. 'Krodha' is anger, 'kāma' is desire, 'lajjā' is shame.
