• A. I never smoke there
• B. a lot of people ignore it
• C. nobody smokes
• D. everybody must obey this

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

a lot of people ignore it

Taking into account the mood of the sentence including the conjunction but, it is only fitting that the answer would be negating the instruction mentioned in the sentence. Thus, Option B is the correct answer. Options A,C and D are incorrect because they do not negate the but in the sentence rendering it redundant.
