well, if it is A, it should have been, IMO,
assertiveness, which is a quality, not assertion, which is an action
based on the same, D audacity could also have been an answer
B should have been changed to praise in order to fit

Hi,
I think D, without a doubt.
I think women with pungent audacity are irresistible. Marlene Dietrich is a perfect example.
Best wishes, Clive

I'd say A or D.
But whichever it is, it's a rather lame conclusion to the sentence.

Edit: Sorry, I misread "assertion" for "assertions". So only D seems to fit.

If we're voting, I vote for D as well, but it's an odd sentence.
