B is correct, as you will find out in reality just tried it here on deb10 the -c option will nuke the file, and it will only contain the entry of the user of the commandline, all previous will be GONE.

Selected Answer: B
From documentation: Examples htpasswd /usr/local/etc/apache/.htpasswd-users jsmith Adds or modifies the password for user jsmith. The user is prompted for the password. The password will be encrypted using the modified Apache MD5 algorithm. If the file does not exist, htpasswd will do nothing except return an error.
