Vandalism → deliberate destruction or damage of property.
Disturbance → a disruption (related, but less specific).
Ravage → destruction or severe damage → same meaning.
Provocation → action that incites anger (different).
Violence → physical force to harm (related, but broader; vandalism specifically targets property).
So, acts of vandalism = acts of ravage or deliberate destruction.
Disturbance → a disruption (related, but less specific).

Vandalism does not always result in violence when the perpetrator is not caught. There is always vandalism and different places have different degrees of tolerance.
One case of vandalism in one place may not be a case of vandalism to another place.

I think the answer should be Ravage, Vandalism does not necessarily mean Violence as violence involve loss of human life and violence has a vast scope of meaning unlike Vandalism.
