B Correct answer
Explanation

Contempt means the feeling that someone or something is worthless or beneath consideration. The opposite is to exalt, meaning to hold in high regard or elevate to high status. Glorify, Dignify, and Enshrine are related to honor but exalt is the strongest antonym to contempt (which degrades).
