The words that should be in inverted commas in the paragraph are "good fun" in order to show that they are being used sarcastically, as explained below.

Inverted commas to show sarcasm

Inverted commas can be used when we want to convey sarcasm through writing. When we speak, sarcasm can be conveyed through an exaggerated tone of voice. Since the same cannot be done in writing, the use of inverted commas helps us convey that sarcasm.

In the paragraph we are analyzing here, the writer is discussing the Raspberry Awards, which are given to the worst of the film industry. The writer says it is all done is "good fun," but this expression is used when no harm is intended. However, we know that such an award can very well harm people's pride and sense of self-worth. Therefore, "good fun" is most likely sarcastically used here.

With the information above in mind, we can select option B, "good fun", as the correct answer for this question.
