The minister's remark stirred up controversy.
正解 · Answer
かもした
解説 · Why
醸す (かもす, originally "to brew") appears almost exclusively in the set phrase 物議を醸す (stir controversy). Knowing the on-reading じょう from 醸造 doesn't help — the idiom uses the kun-reading.
誤答 · Why the other options are wrong
こした — こす is 越す／濾す — different verbs.
もたらした — もたらす is a different verb (to bring about) — plausible by meaning, wrong by reading.
じょうした — じょう is the on-reading (醸造 じょうぞう), but the verb is kun-read.
