OE
“Hubristic” means arrogant—a “hubristic” person would never decline an opportunity for bragging, or bombast. Augmentation (the action of making or becoming greater in size or amount) is not quite right; greater size or amount is not exactly indicated by the “hubristic” clue. Hedonism (the devotion to sensual pleasures and their pursuit) and jubilation (the state of rejoicing) are off topic. Finally, while an arrogant person might desire profit, so might anyone else. The sentence would need to include evidence more specifically about money for profit to be the right answer.
