B Correct answer
Explanation

"Hard to please" is a set phrase/idiom meaning difficult to satisfy, someone with high standards. When someone is "a hard man to please," it means they are particular and not easily satisfied. "Polite" doesn't collocate with "hard to please" - politeness doesn't indicate difficulty in satisfaction. "Young" and "rich" don't fit the idiomatic expression.
