Bonjour R,
In French, to express "the less [X], the more [X]", you will use:
Moins [X], plus [X] -> moins +[statement], plus + [statement]
Moins je travaille, plus  je m'ennuie = The less I work, the more I get bored
Moins je vois Marc, plus je suis heureuse = The less I see Marc, the happier I am
So, only the second option is correct in the test question above.
 
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
