Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (D) summarily

Explanation

"Summarily dismissed" means dismissed at once, without a long procedure, which fits an official action under the service rules. Sumptuously means lavishly, brazenly means shamelessly and unintentionally means by accident, so none of them fits.
