The correct answer is:

A. A comma is needed after the word loud.

The sentence would be clearer with the addition of a comma to separate the adjectives "loud" and "rude" for better readability, as it describes the same noun "remarks." The corrected sentence would read: "Emily wished that her brother had not heard the loud, rude remarks."
