Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. agitated.

 

Context of the sentence:
The speaker says he met a very upset or disturbed Forest Guard on his way back. The Forest Guard was rushing to collect bear fat for his father but suddenly encountered a problem. 

Meaning of the word 'agitated':
Agitated means worried, upset, or nervous, especially due to stress or urgency.

Why it fits best:
The Forest Guard was in a hurry, had an urgent need, and then had to deal with an unexpected problem involving a tiger. This situation would clearly make someone agitated or disturbed.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
