D Correct answer
Explanation

Imperious means assuming power or authority without justification; arrogant and domineering. Commanding is the correct synonym as both convey the sense of exercising authority and expecting obedience. Odd (strange), obedient (compliant - the opposite), absolve (to forgive), and perilous (dangerous) don't capture the authoritarian attitude.
