B Correct answer
Explanation

Notorious means 'famous or well known for some bad quality or deed' - it refers to someone with a negative reputation. 'Disreputable' means having a bad reputation, which is synonymous. 'Notable' means famous but can be positive, 'Nice' means pleasant (opposite), and 'Wicked' means evil but doesn't capture the 'famous' aspect of notoriety.
