Question states "You need to save transient information in a secure data store." Session state will not save data but database will.

Don't store sensitive data in session state. The user might not close the browser and clear the session cookie. Some browsers maintain valid session cookies across browser windows. A session might not be restricted to a single user. The next user might continue to browse the app with the same session cookie. Question asked for transient info to be stored : Only possible option is a database then

A shared database? Are you kidding? It should be A, as others already pointed out, but I found this supposed answer so ridiculous that I just HAD to comment.
