The new employee is still trying to learn the ropes in the office.
Answer: B
Learn the ropes means to understand how to do a job.
The idiom comes from sailing ships, where a new sailor had to learn which rope worked which sail. Today it means learning the basic procedures of a new job or activity, which is exactly what a new employee is doing.
It has nothing to do with avoiding responsibilities, teaching others (that would be show someone the ropes) or changing the rules.
