"Raucous" means loud and harsh-sounding. "Subdued" means quiet or restrained, which is the opposite (antonym) of "raucous." The other options (Hoarse, Strident, Discordant) all relate to harsh or unpleasant sounds, making them synonyms or similar in meaning to "raucous."

Coercion is the act of persuading someone to do something by using force or threats, which matches the definition given in the question. The other options do not involve force or threats.
