The correct answer is (A) To sneer; mock; speak or shout derisively at; scoff or laugh with contempt; gibe rudely; taunt.

Jeer comes from Old English ceir (clamor).

Examples of use:

• The crowd jeered the mayor as he attempted to speak.
• When it became obvious that the visiting team would win by a wide margin, a small number of fans began to jeer the home team.
