B Correct answer
Explanation

When someone avoids giving a direct answer, especially when asked something uncomfortable, they are being evasive. The doctor is avoiding telling the patient what's wrong. "Famished" means extremely hungry, "excessive" means too much, and "extravagant" means spending too much.
