The correct answer would be the second answer choice, transitive. The reason for this is because a transitive verb "transfers" some kind of action to a direct object. If there is no direct object the verb is transferring the action to, then the verb would be intransitive. For example, in the sentence, "I ate the cheese." the verb "ate" is transferring an action to the direct object, "cheese". An example of a verb being intransitive would be this sentence: "I ate at noon." The verb "ate" in that sentence has no direct object to perform the action on, therefore, making the verb intransitive.
