Answer:

The correct answer is B. Parrots of the Wild: A Natural History of the World's Most Captivating Birds.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the MLA manual of style, tittles in English language are capitalized in headline-style. This means that all words must be capitalized except for prepositions and the common coordinating conjunctions. In this case, "of" is written lowercase while nouns, adjectives and the first word are capitalized. Even the "A" after the colon.
