The correct option is B fonder
The proverb, 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder' means: One feels more affection for those one loves, when parted from them. On the contrary, one may not respect/ value someone (or something) which is always available or present.
The correct word to fill the given blank is 'fonder'. Hence option B is correct and the other options are incorrect.
