Detailed Solution

‘Bitter’ is the correct answer.
A synonym is a word or phrase that means the same thing as another word, morpheme, or phrase in the same language.
The term 'acrimonious' refers to being harsh or sarcastic. As the meaning of this word is 'bitter,' option 1 is the best fit. Bitter means astringent. It is also used to express anger, hurt, or resentment. The context of the sentence is that the debate in the Lok Sabha became heated, and a few members walked out. Option 2 'lively' refers to being energetic or active. Option 3 'disgusting' refers to something repulsive or unpleasant. Option 4 ‘short' refers to a short distance or a small amount. As a result, option 1 is the best fit as a meaning of the word 'acrimonious.'
