B Correct answer
Explanation

Jagged means having a rough, uneven edge or surface. When paper is ripped rather than cut, it creates a rough, torn edge that looks jagged. Raucous means loud and harsh, flimsy means weak and insubstantial, and fragile means easily broken. Note that option D is incorrectly formatted as a definition rather than a single word.
