Solution

The correct option is B complete change
Option B: 'Sea change' is an idiomatic expression. These expressions have meanings different from the literal meanings of the individual words.
The expression means 'a profound or notable transformation, a complete change'.
The person's 'His' visit to foreign countries brought about a notable transformation, or a complete change in his outlook and attitude towards people.
Option B mentions the same. Hence it best expresses the meaning and is the correct option.
Options A, C and D do not give the meaning of the idiomatic expression. Hence they're wrong.
