Choice B is the best answer. The passage states that Nawab earned "more kicks than kudos" (line 16, "him...took") for his failed attempts at fixing watches. In the context of not doing a job well, this means Nawab was not given compliments ("kudos") for his efforts but complaints ("kicks") about them.
Choices A and D are incorrect because the passage clearly states that Nawab was not successful fixing watches, which earned him a negative response ("kicks," or complaints). In this context it would be illogical to suggest that Nawab's unsuccessful efforts at fixing watches would result in the sort of positive response implied by choice A ("thrills") or choice D ("interests"). Choice C is incorrect because even though "jolts" might be unpleasant, they're not the kind of negative response one would get instead of compliments.
