Explanation

'Bad-tempered' describes 'she' - her personality/disposition when tired. When a word describes a person or thing, it's an adjective. The linking verb 'gets' connects the subject 'she' to the adjective 'bad-tempered'. Distractors: A noun would name something, B verb would show action, C adverb would modify a verb.
