The answer is indeed letter B. antithesis.

Explanation:

The sentence "He spoke less and listened more" contrasts two ideas by employing words that are each other's opposite: less and more. The figure of speech which expresses opposition or contrast via a parallelism of words is called antithesis. Another example of antithesis would be as follows:

- Sweet is the start of a relationship, but bitter is its end. --> the adjectives "sweet" and "bitter" express opposing ideas.
