B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence requires an adjective to describe the drop in sales. 'Definite' means clear, certain, or unmistakable - it indicates that the drop in sales is real and measurable, not speculative or minor. The other options (definate, definete, defenite) are all misspelled versions of the word.
