Correct Answer: pompous person


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

The idiom "stuffed shirt" is often used to describe someone who is perceived as formal, stiff, or excessively formal in their behaviour, possibly to the point of being arrogant or pompous.

In the context of the sentence, it suggests that the person behaves in a way that is aloof, unfriendly, and self-important in the office.

Therefore, the correct answer will be: Pompous person
