B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence lists three parallel changes in a specific structure: 'in what people consume', 'in the work that they perform', and 'in the manner in which they live'. Option B 'in the pattern of what people consume' fits this pattern perfectly and is idiomatic. Other options are either grammatically awkward or don't fit the parallel structure.
