The correct answer is option 4. Beautiful.

The most appropriate synonym for "dandy" out of the choices provided is Beautiful

Dandy, while less common these days, can be used to describe someone who is excessively concerned with their appearance and dressing in a stylish or fashionable way. It can also be used more generally to mean something that is excellent or first-rate.

Beautiful directly refers to something pleasing to the senses, often visually.

Cartel refers to a group of businesses that agree to control prices or territories, not related to appearance.

Disappointment is a feeling of sadness or displeasure caused by something not being as good as you expected, again not related to appearance.

Dud is a slang term for something that fails to perform as expected or is a disappointment, also not related to attractiveness.

While "dandy" can also mean "excellent" in a more general sense, "beautiful" best captures the idea of someone who is very concerned with their appearance and dressing well.
