B Correct answer
Explanation

Sundar 'believes' the traffic police noticed him speeding because this is a conclusion based on observation or evidence (he was speeding, the police were there). He 'hopes' his license won't be suspended because this is an uncertain future outcome he desires to be positive. Believe for the factual observation, hope for the desired uncertainty.
