(B) The electronic configuration of $N_2$ molecule ($14$ electrons) is $(\sigma 1s)^2 (\sigma^* 1s)^2 (\sigma 2s)^2 (\sigma^* 2s)^2 (\pi 2p_x)^2 (\pi 2p_y)^2 (\sigma 2p_z)^2$. Antibonding orbitals are those denoted with an asterisk $(*)$. These are $(\sigma^* 1s)^2$ and $(\sigma^* 2s)^2$. Total number of electrons in antibonding orbitals $= 2 + 2 = 4$.
