Detailed Solution

Concept: Option B: 'Smooth' means 'in a charming, confident and complex manner'. 'Rough' means 'missing sophistication in manner or behavior'. As you could see, 'rough' means the opposite of 'smooth' and hence choice B is correct. Option A: 'Hard' means 'strong and firm, not easy to break'. Option C: 'Polite' means 'behavior that is respectful and thoughtful of different people'. Option D: 'Tough' means 'capable of enduring hardship or pain'. These phrases do not suggest the opposite of the italicized word 'smooth'. Hence, options A, C and D are wrong.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
