B Correct answer
Explanation

The opposite of 'upward motion' is downward movement. 'Descent' means the act of moving downward, which is the direct opposite. Abstruse means difficult to understand, befell is past tense of befall (happen), and porter is a person who carries things - none are opposites of upward motion.
