B Correct answer
Explanation

Die out is the correct phrasal verb meaning to gradually disappear or cease to exist completely. When a riot, fire, or excitement dies out, it gradually subsides until it is completely gone. Die away (similar but typically for sounds) or die down (become less intense) might seem plausible, but die out best captures complete disappearance after intensity.
