B Correct answer
Explanation

Insidious means proceeding in a gradual, subtle way, but with harmful effects. It describes something that spreads harm gradually and stealthily, like an insidious disease or an insidious plan. "Sudden fall" and "steady progress" miss the harmful element, while "ultimate objective" doesn't capture the gradual, sneaky nature of the word.
