Solution

The correct option is B frivolous interests
The entire second stanza comes together to say to the "Blue Girls" that tie the "white fillets" around your hair and don't think of what is going to come anymore than the bluebirds that walk on the grass and chatter think about what's coming. So, the imagery here conveys a sense of being carefree and nothing serious. In this context, option B is the best answer.
