The conjunction 'but' before the verb 'irritated' makes it clear that his friends reacted in a different way. The meanings of the words are:

Aloof=> not friendly or forthcoming$

Distracted=> inattentive $

Grave=> serious

Alarmed=> frightened

Earnest=> resulting from or showing sincere and intense conviction.$

Terrorized=> frightened

Jesting=> speak in a joking way.$

Endeared=> cause to be loved or liked$

Conservative=> averse to change or innovation and holding traditional values$

The adjective 'comical' with the noun 'friends' makes the word 'jesting' correct here.Thus option 4 is the correct answer.$
