C Correct answer
Explanation

Invective means abusive or insulting language. Abuse is the correct match - it specifically refers to harsh, insulting language. The other options are antonyms or unrelated - encomium and praise are opposites (meaning high praise), intransitive is a grammatical term, and deep is unrelated to verbal attack.
