First, define "displease": it means to make someone feel annoyed or unhappy. Now analyze each option:

• Option A: Making someone laugh would please them, not displease, so this is incorrect.
• Option B: A decision causing audience complaints aligns with making them unhappy, so this uses "displease" correctly.
