B. Think about the way the two chunks are said. The second part is more of an added thought, scoffed out. Dashes are perfectly fine where they are. C is definitely incorrect because the second sentence is just a dependent clause. A just doesn't make much sense. Dashes are pauses, breaks in what a person says. They can signal emotional changes, too.
