Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (D) summarily

Explanation

"Summarily" means quickly and without a long procedure, which fits an officer who has been found guilty and is dismissed under the rules. "Sumptuously" means luxuriously, "brazenly" means shamelessly, and "unintentionally" cannot describe a dismissal made under the rules.
