Complete solution:
To solve the following question, We should know terms related to each of the following options.
Option A given here is keeping of honey bees, we know that rearing honey bees and using them for our commercial benefit is known as Apiculture. Then the next option, option C is cultivation of fruits and vegetables, for this purpose, we use a variety of terms like cropping, intercropping, mixed cropping, depending on the type of cropping we are using. Then the next option given is option D that is rearing of fishes. We all are quite aware about rearing of fishes, the term we use here is known as pisciculture.
Now the option left for us is option B rearing of rabbits. Cuniculture is the agricultural practice of breeding and raising domestic rabbits as livestock for their meat, fur, or wool. Irrespective of the purpose of raising rabbits, all the rabbits also produce a high-powered, relatively weed-seed-free manure that can be used to enrich gardens as well.
In short, Rabbit farming is known as Cuniculture So, the correct answer is option B

Note: In this question, we have to evaluate all the options and apply the negative approach. The term Cuniculture is uncommon and it may confuse many of you, so just apply the negative approach and get the answer.
