Hint:Something that means centre of attention.
Something which means attracting lots of attention.
Something which suits the notion of charming girl.

Complete answer:
Lets see options now :-
Target : target means An person or a specific group of people to whom something is guided, or for whom something is intended but here we need a word which means centre of attention thus this option is wrong.
Cynosure :- Cynosure means a person or object that is so beautiful or nice that it attracts a lot of attention. Thus this option is right.
Doggerel :- doggeral means Poetry which is dumb or poorly composed but here we need a word which means centre of attention thus this option is wrong too.
Ambition :- ambition means A deep wish for something to accomplish but here we need a word which means centre of attention thus this option is wrong too

Hence the correct answer is option B.

Note:Origin of cynosure :- Latin cynosūra from Greek kunosoura dog's tail, Ursa Minor kunos genitive from kuōn dog kwon- in Indo-European roots ourā tailors- in Indo-European roots kunos Minor (containing the leading star Polaris)
Cynosure is also The constellation of Ursa Minor or, in this constellation, the North Star.
