Solution

The correct option is B very high
"Stupendous" means "large in number." In this passage, the word "stupendous" refers to the costs, meaning the costs are high for drugs. Thus, A is the correct answer.
We can reject B and D, as "stupendous" does not mean foolish or illegal.
Although the word also means "shocking," that meaning doesn't fit the sentence well.
