Correct Answer: his tempers on
Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.
Explanation : Some uncountable nouns don't take the articles " a/an", many, few, or plural form . For example, furniture, scenery, luggage, temper, hair, knowledge, equipment, pottery, music, jewellery, etc.
In the same way, "temper" will be used instead of "tempers" as per the rule given above.
Hence, the correct sentence is: "He loses his temper on the slightest provocation."
