Explanation:

The phrase "to pay tribute to" in the context of a holiday for Martin Luther King, Jr. (who is a significant historical figure) is about showing respect or honor. Option A is incorrect as the holiday is not about giving money. Option C is wrong because visiting doesn't fit the tribute context. Option D ("to get even with") has a negative connotation which is inappropriate here. Option B ("to honor") matches the meaning of showing respect to a person like Martin Luther King, Jr. on a dedicated holiday.

Answer:

B. to honor
