The correct answer is B. absconded.
The sentence would read: "Although wartime looters sometimes absconded with priceless artifacts, museums like the Hermitage in Russia have reclaimed many of their treasures." Absconded means to leave hurriedly and secretly, typically to avoid detection or arrest, which fits the context of wartime looters taking priceless artifacts.
