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.

Which two phrases in this excerpt from act three scene one of hamlet show Shakespeare’s use of similes
sleet_krkn [62]

Taking into account that a simile is a literary device used to compare two unlike things, the following examples provide a clear use of this resource in Shakespeare's masterpiece "Hamlet" (act three scene one):

King Claudios: <em>"For we have closely sent for Hamlet hither, that he, </em><em>as </em><em>'twere by accident, may here affront Ophelia."  </em>

Ophelia: "...<em>words of so sweet breath composed  </em><em>as</em><em> made the things more rich..."</em>

Words such as "like" or "as" help the reader identify the use of this figurative speech.
