   Answer & explanation

   Answer: B) Friendly

   Meaning: hostile = unfriendly and showing opposition or dislike *(शत्रुतापूर्ण, विरोधी)*.

   Why the others are wrong.

   #B Violent = using physical force to hurt *(हिंसक)* — same side as hostile.
   #B Harsh = cruel, severe or rough *(कठोर)* — also a near-synonym.
   
   Answer: Friendly
