The key phrase "routinely contacted from around the globe" should lead you to predict that the department is "widely known" for its fundraising ability. The best matches are noted and renowned. Envied and criticized could both work if the sentence stopped at the semi-colon but don't explain why all the departments around the globe would be contacting them; they also are not close enough in meaning to form equivalent sentences. Inspirational doesn't have a partner, and garrulous ("excessively talkative") doesn't fit the context.
The correct answers are (B) and (D).
