Correct Answer: Quarrelling with


Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.

The idiom "falling foul of" is commonly used to describe a situation in which someone is in conflict or disagreement with others, often resulting in quarrels or disputes. In this context, the sentence expresses concern about the person's behaviour and suggests that they are quarrelling or having conflicts with everyone.

The other options, such as "quite puzzled with", "maintaining a sort of coldness", and "having an amicable talk with", do not convey the sense of conflict or quarrelling that is implied by the idiom in this context
