The most appropriate word to fill in the blank is concise.

The word concise means brief and to the point. In this case, the sentence is saying that the team leader asked for a concise report to be given, in not more than one page. This means that the team leader wanted a report that was brief and to the point, and that did not exceed one page in length.

The other options are not correct.

• Complex means complicated or intricate. It cannot be used in this sentence because it does not describe a report that is brief and to the point.
• Curt means brief and abrupt. It can be used in this sentence, but it would mean that the report was brief and to the point, but also rude or impolite.
• Compound means consisting of two or more parts. It cannot be used in this sentence because it does not describe a report that is brief and to the point.
