B Correct answer
Explanation

Abusive means using harsh, insulting, or violent language. Insulting directly captures this meaning - both words describe speech that offends, demeans, or attacks someone. Appreciate is the opposite (positive regard), diminish means to reduce, and prise is a variant of prize meaning to value highly.
