Explanation

'Scolding' means criticizing or reprimanding someone angrily for their behavior or actions. 'Nagging' is a form of persistent scolding - repeatedly criticizing or complaining about something. While not a perfect synonym, nagging is the closest option as it involves repetitive critical remarks. The other options (hasty, impartial, lagging) describe different qualities unrelated to criticism or reprimand.
