Correct Answer: hit me below the belt


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

The idiom hit me below the belt means to act unfairly or in an underhanded manner, often by using tactics that are considered beyond the bounds of acceptable behaviour. In the context of the sentence, the speaker is expressing that the colleague's actions in revealing personal problems to the boss were unfair or unethical.

Therefore, the correct meaning is, hit me below the belt.
