Correct answer
Explanation
"Inquiry" refers to a formal investigation or examination, which is the appropriate term for investigating a scandal. "Enquiry" is a variant spelling but "inquiry" is the standard spelling for formal investigations in most English varieties. "Query" is too casual for this context and "acquire" means to obtain, which doesn't fit grammatically or semantically.
