Deliberately and maliciously set something (buildings usually) on fire

Options:

Agrarian

Arson

Ambush

Apex

Correct Answer:

Arson

Explanation:
The option that can be used as a one-word substitute for "deliberately and maliciously set something (buildings usually) on fire" is arson.

The other words in the options, agrarian, ambush, and apex, do not mean the same thing.

  • Agrarian refers to something related to farming or agriculture.
  • Ambush refers to a surprise attack on an enemy or opponent.
  • Apex refers to the highest point or top of something.

Arson is the deliberate and malicious burning of property, especially a building. It is a serious crime that can have devastating consequences. Arson can be motivated by a variety of factors, including revenge, greed, or political ideology.
