B Correct answer
Explanation

Recluse (Option B) specifically means someone who lives alone or avoids society - a hermit. 'Hesitant' means unsure, 'ascetic' practices self-denial (but may live in community), and 'sage' is a wise person (often living among people). Only recluse captures the solitary living aspect.
