- B. The thief made off the jewelry.

Explanation
The correct answer is The thief made away with the jewelry. because 'made away with' is a common phrasal verb that means to steal and escape with something. The other options are incorrect due to misuse of verb phrases: 'made off' requires 'with' to indicate theft, 'made into' suggests transformation, and 'made by' indicates proximity rather than theft.
