Explanation:

Correct Option: 1

In the original set of words, use of 'objective' is grammatically as well as contextually incorrect. This makes the entire set incorrect.

Option 2- ‘Objection’ means challenging or disagreeing with something and is contextually incorrect.

Option 3- ‘Support’ is the opposite of what is needed and is contextually incorrect.

Option 4- 'Happy' and 'Impoverish' are contextually incorrect and do not fit in.

Option A- All the words are appropriately used as a replacement to the bold words.

Apprehensive- fearful or concerned.
Intended- aimed.
Penalize- punish.

Hence option 1 is correct.
