The noun is a name of a person, place or a thing. The adjective modifies or describes the noun. The word 'heresy' is a noun. The words ending with consonant + y can be changed into an adjective by adding suffix - al. Thus, the adjective form of 'heresy' is 'heretical'. Eg: He revealed his heretical reviews on such a sensitive topic. Here, 'reviews' is a noun which is modified by the adjective 'heretical'.
Hence, option B is the correct answer. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as these are incorrect words.
