We need an adverb to modify the verb RAISED and begin the sentence. The sentence introduces another action taken by Google related to addressing vulnerabilities in the Android operating system, which is increasing the maximum reward for critical Android vulnerabilities to $15,000. ADDITIONALLY is appropriate here because it indicates an additional piece of information or action that is related to what was previously mentioned. ADDITIONALLY effectively connects this new information to the previous information about Google's allocation of funds for addressing vulnerabilities, showing a continuation or progression in Google's efforts in this area. Thus, B is the right answer. The other options are contextually incorrect. THEREFORE and HENCE are used to show the result of something. BECAUSE is used to state the reason for something. DESPITE is used to show contrast in the sentences. It is grammatically incorrect, as it is directly followed by a noun or a noun phrase.
