B is the only one that would not be perpendicular to the first line. The first line would have a point-slope intercept form of y=-6x+3 and so any line perpendicular to it would require a slope of 1/6. All of them have a slope of 1/6 except B, which has a slope of 6. Let me know if you need a complete show of work as I can show you the math behind my answer.
