B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct phrase is "besieged with telephone calls." When describing being overwhelmed by many things (calls, requests, problems), "with" is commonly used to show what's causing the overwhelming situation. "From" would show origin, "in" would show containment, and "by" would show the agent but is less idiomatic here.
