B Correct answer
Explanation

Censure is a formal expression of disapproval, often in an official context like Congress. It's essentially public criticism or blame for misconduct. 'Blame' captures this essence, while 'protest' is the act of objecting, 'punishment' is a penalty, and 'anger' is an emotion - not the formal act of disapproval itself.
