Lola Gibson · Answer 1

B. Insecurely.

Explanation:

Because in the statement, the coffee cup is misplaced, it's in a not secure position, that's why insecurely is the best match. The other part confirms this situation when says '' ... the slight brush ... '', which means that every touch could crash the cup.
