The correct answer is

perpetuated

The passage argues that English has long maintained a biased ("cross-eyed") view of animals. The verb in the blank must convey causing this view to continue over time.

Perpetuated means "caused to continue indefinitely" — a perfect fit. "Accompanied" implies mere co-occurrence, "exercised a view" is not idiomatic, and "undeterred" means undiscouraged.
