The transition in this sentence is rather than, and the clues are shocked, quiet boardroom, and exhibiting outrage. The day after a stockmarket crash, members of the board might be expected to be exhibiting outrage, which is why the president of the company was shocked when he arrived at the quiet boardroom. Write down "not outraged" for the blank, and eliminate answer choices that don't match. Histrionic and impassioned mean roughly the opposite of the predicted answer, so cross them off. Empathetic (understanding another's feelings) and fetid (foul-smelling) can also be eliminated. Only impassive and stoic, which both mean "showing no emotion," have the correct meaning. The answers are (A) and (C).
