A. central

Explanation:

To find out which of the option is the most suitable to fill the blank, we must look at the surrounding information of the missing word in order to infer the meaning: First, the word that is missing is next to a noun: "stance", therefore, the missing word should be an adjective because adjectives modify or gives further details to nouns. From all the choices there are only two works that can act as adjectives: central and extreme.

Now, by looking at the following clause "believing that there was no absolute right or wrong.", we find out that the stance that Arlo took was not radical or one that favored one side over another, but one that was in the "middle" of two sides, that is to say, "central."
