C Correct answer
Explanation

Impudence means impertinence, insolence, or shamelessly disrespectful behavior. Calling a teacher a liar shows 'audacity' - bold disrespect. 'Discourtesy' is too mild, 'intractability' means stubbornness not disrespect, and 'lie' refers to the offense not the attitude.
