The correct answer is C: The rich have too much time on their hands and not enough to think about. Pope tries to punctuate the ridiculousness of a society in which values have lost all proportion and the society the poem describes is one that isn't able to distinguish between what really matters and what doesn't. His intention was to cool hot tempers and to encourage people to laugh at their own absurdity.

The focus on the word swarming has allowed the comparison with the bees. We say bees swarm but we do not say that a person swarms - in this way you can make a metaphor.

The comparison in personification on the other hand can be remembered by the word found in the first  six letters -person
