None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fools may seem harmless, but they can be harmful. They will verbally abuse us, refuse to listen to anything they do not want to hear, and stab us in the back when they think we are in their way. We cannot rely on people who are foolish or trust them.

Detailed explanation-2: -Foolish people are silly or senseless, and when you do something foolish, it’s clearly unwise or irrational. Sitting on the hood of a car while your friend is driving is a foolish thing to do. Things that show a lack of judgment are foolish, like cheating on a test or running into the street after a basketball.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stay away from a foolish man, for you will not find knowledge on his lips. The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception. Fools mock at making amends for sin, but goodwill is found among the upright.

Detailed explanation-4: -Foolishness is the unawareness or lack of social norms which causes offence, annoyance, trouble and/or injury. The things such as impulsivity and/or influences may affect a person’s ability to make otherwise reasonable decisions. In this sense, it differs from stupidity, which is the lack of intelligence.

Detailed explanation-5: -Foolish people are self-involved, overly optimistic regarding their own views, and unable to see their own vulnerabilities. They assume they already know all that needs to be known. Foolish individuals are apathetic-indifferent to outgroups, ethical concerns, and the common good. They are unimaginative and dogmatic.
