The correct option is B dare
Modal Verbs show us the attitude of the speaker to what is being said or done. The term "modal" means expressing mood and mood is a way to express the attitude of the speaker.A modal verb is followed by bare infinitive without "to". Here, "oppose" is the bare infinitive.
Option B is correct because "Dare" is an expression of having the courage to do something or challenge. It is generally used in negative and interrogative sentences. Here, the given sentence is negative. Option A, C and D are incorrect because the words like "need", "shall" and "might", after applying in the given sentence suggest the mood of dissatisfaction , reproach and uncertainty which is absolutely opposite to the mood of option B. Therefore, option A is correct.
