B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is B because 'chary' means cautious, wary, or careful. 'Bold' is the opposite, meaning confident and willing to take risks. Brisk relates to speed, untidy to neatness, ungenerous to giving, and unfriendly to personality - none directly oppose the concept of caution.
