argument, met

C
Correct answer
Explanation
After having been friends for more than a decade, they had a dispute last year and have not seen each other ever since. First option does not fit as we cannot use 'talked' in the second blank. We need to add 'to' after talked. Second option would require use of article 'an' before 'argument'. Option 4 & 5 also do not fit as the second part in the options are out of context.

residing, obliged
