Here, the correct answer is "Down."

Key Points     
  • The reason "quiet down" is the most appropriate option is that it is a commonly used phrasal verb that means to become less noisy or to stop making noise. (कम शोर करना या शोर मचाना बंद करना)
    • ExampleCould you please quiet down? I'm trying to concentrate.
  • In the context of the sentence, Samir is likely asking people to reduce their noise level or to be silent. 
  • The correct answer is Option 2.
     

Correct sentence: As he walked past the chambers, Samir asked everyone to quiet down.

Additional Information

  • "Up": While "quiet up" is sometimes used colloquially, it is less standard and doesn't convey the sense of reducing noise in this context.
  • "Rise": "Quiet rise" is not a standard phrase and doesn't convey the idea of decreasing noise.
  • "Please": "Quiet please" is grammatically correct but may not fit the context as well as "quiet down." "Please" alone doesn't convey the idea of reducing noise.
