B Correct answer
Explanation

'Dilettante' means a person who cultivates an area of interest superficially or casually, lacking deep knowledge or expertise. 'Cognoscente' (the correct antonym) refers to a person with expert knowledge or refined taste in a particular field - essentially a connoisseur. The other options (formal dress, firebrand, chaff) are unrelated words that do not convey the opposite meaning.
