Solution
In A, B and D the adverbs 'instantly', 'reluctantly' and 'silently' are correctly placed before the verbs they modify. In C, 'confidently' is awkwardly fronted and clashes in sense with 'apologized', since an apology for a mistake is not naturally performed confidently; the adverb neither suits the verb nor sits in its proper mid position. Hence A, B and D only.
