Correct Answer: B


Solution : The correct answer is option 2.

Explanation:

The action is said to be reflected when the verb's subject is the person who receives the action.

A reflexive pronoun is used to show that the same subject performs and receives an action. It does not involve another object and instead reflects the action back on itself.

In a nutshell, a reflexive pronoun emphasizes that in a sentence, the action's doer and recipient are the same person.

These verbs are reflexively used.
For example, the verbs "avenge," "acquit," "enjoy," "apply," etc. are all reflexive verbs.

Hence the correct sentence is
The immediately preceding teacher acquitted very efficiently.
