We acted on a __________ impulse.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2016 (Tier 1) Previous Year Question Paper (11-Sep-2016) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

momentary

The correct word is momentary because it means lasting for a very short time. The sentence implies that the action was impulsive and short-lived. Momentous means very important, memorable means worth remembering, and meritorious means deserving reward – none of these fit the context of a spontaneous, brief action.
