    Yeah, option B is right.

    Definitely B. A good way to answer these is by power of elimination. Eg, if there are full stops in randoms places, it probably isn't the answer. Same goes for commas, ect.

    Try saying the sentence out loud, or in your head. If it doesn't sound right, it probably isn't.

    Hope this helps! :)
