1 to be determined to obtain : This is correct. To have one's heart set on something is to be determined to get or do something. Example: I have my heart set on going to Africa this year. In the dialogue, Bruno says, "I had my heart set on that painting" to mean that he was determined to buy painting A.

1 to be disappointed by: This isn't the best choice here.
1 to respond emotionally to: This isn't the best choice here.
2 is easily noticed: This is correct. If something "stands out" it is easily seen or noticed. Example: He STANDS OUT in class because of his green hair. In the dialogue, Bruno says that "one of (Plazbo's) paintings stood out". This means that Bruno particularly noticed one of the paintings because it appeared special, different or superior. This phrasal verb is used in a popular idiom, "to stand out from the crowd". Example: Her intelligence makes her STAND OUT from the crowd.

1 grabs: This is correct. "To grab" means "to take" or "to seize". Therefore, "to grab the attention (of someone)" is to attract and maintain the attention (of someone)! Example: The action scene at the beginning of the film really GRABBED THE ATTENTION of the audience. In the dialogue, Susie says that Edward needs to create an advert that "grabs the attention of young men". This means the headline needs to make young men stop and read the advert.
1 teases: We don't say "to tease the attention" of someone.
1 triggers: We don't say "to trigger the attention" of someone.
2 trigger: This is correct. To "trigger" is to start or provoke (a reaction, a chain of events or an emotional state). Example: A photo of an abused kitten TRIGGERED an angry reaction from animal rights groups. Susie says that Edward needs to include a headline that "triggers an emotional response" in young men, which means it needs to make young men react emotionally. Note: "to trigger" can also be to fire or explode a gun or missile. Example: He triggered his gun by accident and shot himself in the foot.
2 stand out: We don't say "to stand out an emotional response" - it doesn't make sense!
2 grab: We don't say "to grab an emotional response" - it doesn't make sense!
3 tease: This is correct. In this context, "to tease" means "to tempt" or "to arouse hope, desire or curiosity". Example: The movie channel TEASES viewers by showing the first 10 minutes of films (but they have to pay to see the rest). Susie tells Edward to "Tease your prospective clients!" which means Edward should tempt people with his unique prices and special offers. Note: "to tease" also means to mock playfully. Example: He teased me about my strong accent.
3 stand out: Unfortunately, we don't say "stand out potential customers"!
3 trigger: Unfortunately, we don't say "trigger potential customers"!
4 stand out: This is correct. If something "stands out", it is easily noticed. Therefore if a product "stands out from the competition" it easily to differentiate from rival products. In general, if something stands out from something, it is usually regarded as being superior or better quality. Example: This worker's work ethic makes him STAND OUT from the other employees.
4 tease: Oops! We don't say: "tease from the competition".
4 trigger: Oops! We don't say: "trigger from the competition".
