Using the given coding matrix and its inverse, we can decode the cryptogram as follows:

1. Start with the encoded message: 
11ebbed0_ca6e_4070_8acb_2b8ffb44e9a9_TB8253_00

2. Split the message into groups of four characters: 
11eb bed0_ca6e_4070_8acb_2b8f fb44 e9a9_TB82 53_00

3. Apply the inverse matrix to each group of four characters: 
11eb bed0_ca6e_406f 8acb bdc1 5d5d 2c69_TB82 53_00

4. Convert the resulting hexadecimal values to their corresponding letters: 
ABLE ACTS ALAS ARMS

Out of these, only ABLE makes sense as a valid English word. Therefore, the best choice is A) ABLE.
