Complete answer:

We have to find the meaning of the urge and the meaning of words that are given in the options. And both the words should have the same meaning or the exact sense.
The meaning of urge is need or wish. And we have to find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as of urge.
Option A) Repulse - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of repulse is ‘fight back’ and this is not a synonym of urge. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘repulse’ and ‘urge’ does not match.
Option B) Addiction - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of addiction is ‘it is a condition to get addicted to someone or something or to any activity’ and this is not a synonym of urge. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘addiction’ and ‘urge’ does not match.
Option C) Sensation - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of sensation is ‘a widespread reaction of interest and excitement’ and this is not a synonym of urge. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘sensation’ and ‘urge’ does not match.
Option D) Desire - is the correct answer because the meaning of desire is ‘a strong feeling for something to have or strongly wish for something’ and this is a synonym of urge. Thus, they can replace each other because their meanings are the same or similar.
Option E) Collaboration - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of collaboration is ‘where individuals work together to get the desired results or common business purpose’ and this is not a synonym of urge. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because the meaning of the words ‘collaboration’ and ‘urge’ does not match.
The human desire to express feelings through rhythmic motion is expressed in dance.
