The correct answer is A. rude.

Impertinence is a lack of respect or courtesy, and salacious remarks are sexually suggestive

Distraught means very upset or worried, and poor means lacking in money or material possessions. Neither of these qualities are relevant to the question.

Here are some examples of rude behavior:

• Cutting someone off in line
• Talking loudly on a cell phone in public
• Not saying “please” or “thank you”
• Making fun of someone

Here are some examples of salacious remarks:

• Making sexual comments about someone
• Telling dirty jokes
• Talking about someone’s body in a sexual way
