A
eminent
💡 Explanation:
Eminent means distinguished, famous, or respected in a particular field. The sentence suggests the scholar was so distinguished that even professors felt nervous or intimidated in his presence. Pathological means diseased/abnormal, petulant means childishly sulky, and amiable means friendly - none fit the context.
