The correct option is B nevertheless 'Nevertheless' is used to indicate that the second point made contrasts with the first point.
'Anyway' is used when something is done without regard to what happens. 'Beside' means by alongside or near.
'Yet' is used to mean nevertheless or however. It carries a sense of negation.
The given sentence can be completed by using 'nevertheless' as the contrast is shown that it was a predictable but hilarious story.
