A Correct answer
Explanation

Meandered literally means to follow a winding course, but applied to speech or thought, it means to wander without clear direction or purpose. The disturbing aspect suggests the speech lacked focus and coherence. Continued (B), stuttered (C), and sounded (D) don't capture the sense of aimless wandering.
