B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'knock off' (option B). The phrasal verb 'knock off' means to stop working, usually at the end of a workday. The sentence 'We knock off work in time for tea' means stopping work to have tea. 'Knock in', 'knock around', and 'knock down' have different meanings not related to stopping work.
