B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'suspicious'. The sentence requires an adjective that describes a state of wariness or distrust. 'Grew suspicious' is the correct idiomatic expression - becoming distrustful when someone tries to rush you into a sale. 'Suspects' is a verb/noun, 'suspecion' is a misspelling of 'suspicion' (noun), and 'suspected' is a past participle that doesn't work after 'grew' here.
