B Correct answer
Explanation

The word 'dear' can mean 'close' or 'near' in the context of relationships or affection, as in 'a dear friend' meaning a close friend. 'Close' is the correct synonym in this sense. 'Due' means owed, 'Costly' means expensive, and 'Young' means not old - none capture the meaning of dear as affectionate or close.
