B. Anuja uses the literal meaning of "cracking up" to make a joke.
Anuja is playing on the phrase "cracking up," which typically refers to laughing hard, and using it in a literal sense suggesting that Tiesha might physically break apart from all the laughing. This clever wordplay is what makes her statement funny.
