B Correct answer
Explanation

A sadist is someone who derives pleasure or satisfaction from inflicting pain, suffering, or humiliation on others. This is the correct psychological term. A misogynamist hates marriage, a masochist enjoys receiving pain themselves, and an epicure pursues sensory pleasure (especially fine food) - none match the definition.
