Answer:

C.  expressing criticism or contempt

Explanation:

In the excerpt opprobrious means expressing criticism or contempt. The men are stranded in a lifeboat. They think that there is a lifesaving station close enough to save them, if only the people in the station would open their eyes and look. The men are making critical and negative remarks about the lifesaving station they feel should be already rescuing them. However, they aren't as close to a lifesaving station as they think they are.
