GOAD :

The correct answer is C. Irritate.

To goad someone is to provoke them or to urge them to do something, often in a negative way. For example, you might goad someone into a fight by saying something insulting to them.

The other options are not correct because they do not accurately describe the meaning of the word “goad.”

• Soothe means to calm or make someone feel better.
• Save means to rescue someone from danger or harm.
• Worship means to show great respect or admiration for someone or something.
