In each of the following questions, choose the option that best completes the gap(s).

The ____ of armed robbery has been on the increase.

accidence
accident
incident
incidence

Explanation

Incidence refers to the rate or frequency of something happening (e.g., crime rates). Incident refers to a single, specific event. Because the sentence mentions being "on the increase," it is talking about the frequency/rate of the crime, so "incidence" is the correct choice.
