I think the answer should be prejudiced. Because in the sentence there is a "but" which is a thought reverser. And all others options are supporting 1st part :).

I think "prejudiced" should be the correct answer because the presence of 'but' in the question is indicative of the fact that the person being referred to act opposite to his nature of not taking sides.
Moreover the authenticity of 'unbiased' and 'impartial' is suspected as they stand opposite to what is mentioned in the question.

Unbiased and impartial are the same as 'not taking side'. As there is a 'but' there has to be something which is opposite in meaning to the first part which is 'prejudiced'.

I also think that prejudiced should be right as there is a reversal of in the meaning of the sentence. As all the other three options mean more or less the same.

Prejudice is antonym of unbiased, so that can't be used.

Logic 1: Impartial, neutral and unbiased are synonyms and choosing any one of them would lead to confusion. Hence, the last option left is the answer.
Logic 2: The 'not taking sides' is contrasted with the word 'but' which leaves only option on the opposite side of balanced = prejudiced.
