B Correct answer
Explanation

The use of "even" here suggests something unexpected or surprising about the head of department's behavior. While professors might be expected to be strict or harsh, this one was "kind, even friendly" - going beyond mere kindness to approachability. "Friendly" creates a logical progression from "kind" and completes the contrast.
