Explanation:

The word "encore" refers to an additional performance given by performers in response to the audience's enthusiastic demand. Let's analyze each option:

• Option A uses "encore" as a farewell term, which is incorrect.
• Option B correctly uses "encore" to describe the audience's demand for an extra performance after a show, matching the word's definition.
• Option C incorrectly frames "encore" as something a person "makes" in a general skill context, which is not the proper usage.

B. The audience demanded an encore after the performance.
