----Do you think it's a good idea to make friends with your students?
----_____, I do. I think it's a great idea.
A. Obviously B. Actually

I think both answers are right? Am I right?

Thanks

Yes they can both be correct.
For Obviously to be correct, though, it would have to be easily seen, or clear that the speaker had a lot of friends among his students.
Actually, used as it is here, is not really necessary.
