jamb 1988english-language

The correct answer is A. indisciplined

undisciplined means they have not been disciplined at all. Indisciplined means they have not been properly / suffiently disciplined. 

INDISCIPLINED is therefore correct because, the school had suspended (not expelled) the student for not being disciplined enough. (that means, they would be given a second chance when they are willing to be fully disciplined.)
