Solution

The correct option is B Being tired of the cooking, she took a break and watched TV.
A participle is used to express a condition or an experience. Since the experience here is that of getting tired of cooking, it should be expressed with a participle. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not express the condition with a participle, hence incorrect.
