Please tell me which word fits best in FEW sentences?

Could you please tell me which word you would use and how you would say these sentences?

- That's unfair but to whom/to which of them?
- You need to know what you want/figure out what you want. You are indecisive.
- Her nails were abrasive/rough/scratchy. When she scratched me it hurt.
- He doesn't satisfy/fill my needs.

Thank you
