Extensively is an adverb. Option D is correct.

Adverbs constitute one of the four significant word classes, along with nouns, verbs and adjectives. Adverbs are used to add more information about a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a clause or a whole sentence and, less commonly, about a noun phrase.

Extremely means to a very great degree; very.

The only adverb among these is extensively. It is used to describe a verb usually: I have been extensively playing the violin lately.
Purple and sugary are adjectives.
Happiness is a noun.
