B is correct. You are wrong, the banner grabbing was successful but was changed by admin to not include the verison. -O is for os detection.

The correct answer is C. The attack should have used nmap -o host.domain.com. Without using the -O syntax, he failed to grab the version of Apache httpd and other possible details about the server.
