The ballet by Stravinsky that was met with a near riot at its premiere is The Firebird. However, it's important to note that the ballet specifically associated with a riot is actually "The Rite of Spring" (not listed in your options). If you meant to ask about a work that caused a significant scandal but was not necessarily a riot, "The Firebird" did create a strong impact at its premiere but did not lead to a riot like "The Rite of Spring."
None of the options listed (Petroushka, The Firebird, Swan Lake) are known for a riot, so it seems there may be a mix-up in the question. If you're looking for the one with significant historical impact, The Firebird is the most fitting among the given choices.
