Correct Answer: Annoy


Solution : The correct answer to this question is the first option.

In the context of synonyms, we use "aggravate" in place of "annoy" when describing a situation where someone or something causes mild anger or discomfort.

Both words convey a sense of being bothered or agitated, but "aggravate" may emphasise the provocation of a slightly stronger negative reaction.

The meanings of other words are:

Mitigate: The word mitigate means to make a situation or condition less severe, harmful, or painful.

Enhance: The word enhance means to improve, augment, or increase the quality, value, or overall effectiveness of something.

Satisfy: It denotes fulfilling a need.
