B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence requires 'besides' which can mean 'except for' or 'other than'. The structure 'Few people besides his uncle never visited him' means almost everyone visited him, with his uncle being an exception who did not. 'Beside' means 'next to' which doesn't fit this context.
