B) help yourself (to something)

a) to take some of what you want, without asking permission – used especially when offering food to someone

Please help yourself to some cake.

b) informal to steal something

Obviously he had been helping himself to the money.

Why not C ?

Take yourself some biscuits.

Chiefly a British idiom. When something "takes the biscuit" then it has become really bad, annoying or objectionable. Often used when something has worsened.

Couple of examples of the usage of this phrase -  

Jeff has always been annoying, but his latest stunt takes the biscuit.

Petrol has always been expensive, but these new prices really do take the biscuit.

Therefore, in the show you saw, the phrase - "but this one takes the biscuit" is an idiom that the guy uses to say that among all the things that went wrong/bad that day, the baby cot(or rather- undoing of the baby cot) was the worst of them all.

Hope the meaning is clear to you now!
