B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'decamped' because it means to depart suddenly or escape to another location - exactly what a smuggler would do to avoid arrest. 'Brashed' is not a standard English word, 'expiated' means atoned (not fled), and 'swifted' is not standard English - only 'decamped' correctly describes fleeing abroad.
