B Correct answer
Explanation

"Competitive" means able to compete with others or comparable in standard. When pay is "competitive with" other professions, it means it's at a similar level and can rival those jobs in attracting talent. Compatible means suitable for use together, decently is an adverb meaning adequately, and colourful is irrelevant.
