B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'praise' because 'blandish' means to flatter or praise someone coaxingly in order to gain favor or advantage. It's a transitive verb used specifically in contexts where someone is being buttered up. 'Struggle', 'measure', and 'annuity' (financial payment) are completely unrelated to the meaning of coaxing through flattery.
