D Correct answer
Explanation

Execrate means to detest, curse, or declare someone/something to be evil. The opposite is to bless, meaning to invoke divine favor or wish well. Praise and Love are positive attitudes but not direct antonyms to execration (which is stronger than simple dislike). Care is unrelated.
