Solution
The correct option is B Accumulate
'Pile up' means an accumulation of a specified thing.
"a massive pile-up of data"
In this context, "While they were away on vacation, they allowed their mail to pile up at the post office", 'pile up' means to accumulate. Hence, option B is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
