B seems best: activities; by 2007, that figure had risen to almost eighteen hours a week.
a. activities; by 2007, they had spent almost eighteen hours a week ----->the construction after semicolon seems to suggest that "Belgravian workers" had CUMULATIVELY spent 18 hours a week by 2007 .this is not intended meaning
b. activities; by 2007, that figure had risen to almost eighteen hours a week. ---->correct
c. activities, while almost eighteen hours a week were spent in 2007. ----->this choice is inferior to option B
