B Correct answer
Explanation

'Reply' is the correct noun meaning a response. 'Revert' is commonly misused in Indian English to mean 'reply', but in standard English it means to return to a previous state or condition. Options A, C, D, and F use 'revert' incorrectly. Option E 'reply back' is redundant because 'reply' already means 'back'.
