"inclement" means unpleasantly cold or wet. 

This would be the match in meaning closest to option A: stormy. 

"intimate" means closely acquainted or familiar, unrelated to inclement. 

"advocacy" means to publicly support something, which again is unrelated to inclement. 

Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.

The relationship between "Tepid" and "Hot" is one of degree: "Tepid" means lukewarm or mildly warm, while "Hot" represents a more intense level of warmth.
