To round each number to the nearest hundredth, we look at the thousandths place.

For 0.069, the thousandths place is 9, which is equal to or greater than 5. Therefore, rounding to the nearest hundredth gives us 0.07.

For 0.044, the thousandths place is 4, which is less than 5. Therefore, rounding to the nearest hundredth gives us 0.04.

The difference between 0.07 and 0.04 is 0.07 - 0.04 = 0.03.

Therefore, the answer is B: 0.03.
