Explanation
Obsequious means excessively willing to obey or flatter — 'too willing to obey' (3). Obstreperous means noisy, unruly and difficult to control (4). Inveterate means long-established and deep-rooted, as in an inveterate habit (5). Impecunious means having little or no money (2). The correct matching is therefore A-3, B-4, C-5, D-2, which is option (A).
