Solution

The correct option is B politely
Rudely means in an offensive or bad-mannered way. The opposite of rudely is politely, or in a respectful and considerate manner. Hence, Option C is correct. Among the rest of the options, softly means in a careful and gentle manner, gently means with a mild, kind, or tender manner, slowly means at a slow speed. They do not express this antonym, hence incorrect.
