Answer:
B. Playing the piano badly
Read Explanation:
At the beginning of "The Importance of Being Earnest," Algernon is playing the piano poorly in his London flat, while his butler Lane prepares afternoon tea, particularly cucumber sandwiches, for his aunt Lady Bracknell and her daughter Gwendolen who are expected to visit soon; he is essentially just lounging at home, waiting for guests and casually discussing his views on marriage and bachelor life.
Playing piano: He is depicted as a not-so-skilled pianist.
Preparing for guests: His butler is setting up tea, specifically with cucumber sandwiches, which are mentioned multiple times.
Social commentary: He engages in lighthearted philosophical banter about marriage and bachelor life.
