B Correct answer

Amplify argument, redouble efforts, maximise profits, enhance power all represent making something stronger/better. Exacerbate sales breaks the pattern - exacerbate means to make a negative situation worse, but sales are neutral or positive to increase. The relationship is semantically inconsistent.
