Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Agony. 

"Agony" is a noun that refers to intense physical or mental suffering. It accurately conveys the severity of the pain Bajrang is experiencing in his teeth.

While "ache," "hurt," and "sting" all describe various levels of pain, "agony" specifically emphasizes intense suffering, which fits well in the context of "extreme pain."
