According to the sentence, couples dedicated approximately "hours" weekly to housework. The options are all in terms of hours per week, so we need to choose the one that fits the best. Option A (21) seems too low, since it's less than a full day's worth of hours. Option C (45) also seems too high, since that's almost a full work week's worth of hours. Option D (52) is a full week's worth of hours, which seems unlikely for housework. Option B (28) is a reasonable number of hours for couples to dedicate to housework on a weekly basis. Therefore, the best choice is B.
