Explanation

Smart aleck refers to someone who is annoyingly clever or cocky, often showing audacity in their behavior. 'Over smart' correctly captures this meaning of being excessively clever in an obnoxious way. The other options (candid, intellectual) don't capture the annoying/tricky aspect of being an aleck.
