B Correct answer
Explanation

Abrasive means tending to grind down or wear away through friction, like sandpaper roughing a surface. It can describe physical materials or harsh personalities that wear down others over time. Option A ('race') confuses abrasive with 'accelerate' - they sound similar but have unrelated meanings.
