Explanation:

The concerned sentence expresses that though the invasive pests cannot be stopped from flying over the border or growing gratuitously, they can be prevented from entering through airports and dockyards. The phrasal verb "weed out" means to remove a person or thing that is not suitable or good enough, especially from a group or collection. This fits in the blank appropriately to convey that the airport and the dockyard facilities should be vigilant about the imported grains (and items carried by tourists) entering a country.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.
