B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'cheating' because the context of dealing with the taxman for years implies avoiding or evading taxes, which is commonly described as cheating the taxman. 'Chattering' means talking excessively, 'chewing' means biting food, 'chasing' means pursuing, and 'chopping' means cutting into pieces - none of which make sense in this context.
