B Correct answer
Explanation

The Master is questioning Sunder's activity in the drawing room at the current moment. 'At this time of the day' uses the demonstrative 'this' to point to the present moment of speaking. 'That time' would refer to a different time, 'what time' would turn it into a question, and 'the time' is too vague.
