All the given adverbs are adverbs of manner.
The adverb 'rudely' means 'in an offensive or bad-mannered way'. The adverb 'politely' means 'in a respectful and considerate manner'. As these two words have opposite meanings, they are antonyms. Option B is correct.
The adverb 'carefully' means 'in a way that deliberately avoids harm or errors' or 'cautiously'. The adverb 'hopefully' means 'in a hopeful manner'. The adverb 'loudly' means 'in a way that produces much noise'.
The above three words do not mean the opposite of 'rudely'. Hence, options A, C and D are incorrect.
