Explanation

Notoriety refers to the state of being famous or well-known for some unfavorable quality or bad deed. While similar to infamy, it specifically means being widely known for negative reasons. 'Unfavourably known' captures this perfectly - it's not just shame (A) but a state of being known for something bad.
