The answer is: scorn.  

Contempt is a feeling of disrespect or disregard - that something or someone is worthless or beneath consideration. At the same time, scorn means that something or someone is worthless or despicable.

The rest of the options are incorrect because misunderstanding is the failure to understand something correctly, indifference means lack of interest, and appreciation is the acknowledgement of something or somebody's good qualities.
