B Correct answer
Explanation

Idleness is the quality of being inactive or lazy. Business refers to being occupied, active, or engaged in work - the direct opposite of idleness. While activity would be the clearest antonym, business in this context means active engagement, not commerce. Sloth and inactivity are synonyms, and leisure is a related concept.
