The correct option is B.
'Carrying one' s nose in the air is a figurative phrase that is used to express the fact that someone is proud. It means that a person is behaving as if he is better than other people and does not want to relate with them.
In the context in which the phrase is used in the Cub Pilot it means that the speaker is proud of what he can do, he is proud of his abilities.
