very similar words in spell but huge differnce in meaning.

Decent : means "socially acceptable". It's also an old fashioned way to say "polite."

Descent: means the act of moving downward, either physically or socially.

Dissent:means  to publicly disagree with an official opinion or decision.

so here option A is correct.
