A Correct answer
Explanation

Impious means showing disrespect for god or sacred things, or lacking proper reverence. This is synonymous with immoral in a religious context. 'Cynical' means believing people are selfish, 'greedy' means excessive desire, and 'biased' means prejudice - none capture the sense of religious disrespect.
