B Correct answer
Explanation

Defunct means no longer existing, dead, or having ceased functioning. Extant is the opposite - still in existence, surviving, or currently present. Cadaverous means corpse-like, conjure means to summon, and palsied means paralyzed - none of these mean 'currently existing'.
