Solution

The correct option is B Denied
'Refused' means to indicate that one is not willing to accept or grant (something offered or requested).
"she refused a cigarette"
In this context, "The boys were refused admission to the cocktail party for not wearing formal clothes", 'refused' means denied or declined. Hence, option B is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
