The correct answer is B: Note: Both, the keys and ip ssh are created on startup/enabled by default. If the IP configuration is assigned by DHCP (= default), then only username and password need to be configured manually for SSH access. The only need to configure keys/enabled ssh, if disabled manually. There is also no need to apply SSH to a VTY interface.

The answer depends on the type of authentication (password vs. key). If password authentication, then B is correct. If key authentication is required, then A is correct. I'd assume B is correct in this case.
