Explanatory Answer

Option 1: Flustered means nervous or agitated, which fits the sentence.
Option 2: Farther refers to physical distance.
Option 3: The word "farther" is used incorrectly here. "Farther" refers to physical distance (e.g., "I live farther away"), whereas "further" is used when referring to advancement or progress (e.g., "further your career"). The correct sentence should be: "If you need to further your career, you should avoid all kinds of distractions."
Option 4: Further refers to progression of the issue rather than physical distance.

Hence, the answer is 'If you need to farther your career, you should avoid all kinds of distractions.'

Choice C is the correct answer.
