A
particular
💡 Explanation:
Fastidious means very attentive to and concerned about accuracy and detail; particular. The sentence describes someone so obsessed with cleanliness that they fired a sweeper for leaving one area untidy - 'particular' perfectly captures this attention to detail. 'Sure' and 'conscious' are too weak, and 'quick' refers to speed.
