The correct answer is B. something she dislikes very much

(a person or thing that causes) a feeling of strong dislike or of not wishing to do something: I felt an instant aversion to his parents. She has a deep aversion to getting up in the morning. Greed is my pet aversion (= the thing I dislike most of all).
