B Correct answer
Explanation

To 'lean against' something means to rest your weight on it for support, typically a vertical surface like a wall or door. While 'lean on' is also used, 'against' specifically emphasizes the contact with a vertical barrier. 'At' and 'to' are not used with 'lean' in this physical sense.
