Per the regs you're wrong (although god knows second guessing how the FAA will read something is not an exact science).

You need to go read 91.131(b)(1) and 91.131(b)(2) again VERY carefully...compare and contrast. Hint...one of these is not exactly like the other.

Bottom line....a student pilot can fly in ALL class B airspace with an appropriate endorsement. The limitation is that he cannot LAND at those primary class B airports listed in App D subpart 4 of part 91. There is a difference between "flying in" and "landing at" in 91.131.

Since the question asks about flying in B airspace, which you can do anywhere with an endorsement, and says nothing about landing I'd go with (C).

This is what they call a "trick question"
