Explanation
The sentence says the agencies responsible for enforcing wildlife laws have failed to act despite widespread violations. Conservation groups are therefore pleased that a special prosecutor is finally taking action.
Supine = passive, inactive, or failing to take action when action is needed.
So:
“Long supine in the face of widespread violations...”
The other choices are generally positive and imply being diligent, firm, or watchful.
Answer: B
