Explanation:

Correct Answer is (b).
‘At the drop of a hat’ means without any hesitation or instantly without giving much thought before doing something.
‘Immediately’ is close but it does not explicitly mean doing something without giving any thought. ‘Diligently’ and ‘factual’ are completely out of context in the given question. Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
