A Correct answer
Explanation

Askance means with a sideways or indirect look, typically showing disapproval, doubt, or suspicion. The correct answer captures this perfectly (though 'distruct' is a typo for 'distrust'). Other options are unrelated: proliferate means grow rapidly, engrossing means holding attention, and malodorous means foul odor.
