C Correct answer
Explanation

Fiercely competitive means displaying intense, aggressive competitiveness. Fiercely conveys strong, almost animal-like intensity in competition. Forlornly would mean sadly, faithfully would mean loyally, fervently would mean passionately (but this is more about emotion than competition), and freely would mean without restriction. Fiercely is the standard collocation with competitive.
