This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Clamorous

Boisterous means noisy, rowdy and full of high-spirited energy. The closest synonym is clamorous, which means making a loud, sustained noise.

"Ferocious" implies fierce violence, "fissiparous" means tending to split apart, and "voluminous" refers to large size — none capture the core idea of loud, rowdy noise.
