B Correct answer
Explanation

Hypocrisy means pretending to have virtues, moral beliefs, or principles that one does not actually possess; insincerity and deceit. The opposite is truth or sincerity - being genuine and honest rather than fake or deceptive. Deceit is a synonym. Sanctimony is similar to hypocrisy. Illegitimacy is about legality, unrelated. Determination is about persistence.
