Answer:

The correct answer is <u>B</u>: dislike.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the word <em>contempt</em> expresses a lack of respect, scorn, and disregard towards the bacon. The rest of the options (cheer, encouragement, and motivation) refers to some positive feelings, while the tone of the sentence evokes disdain, disrespect, and dislike which Millie expresses after biting the bacon.
