It's A, opposite spin of two electrons. I got the answer correct on the test.

You didn't provide any signs, however, commonly this question involves two electrons with opposite pointing arrows, one up and one down. If this is the case, this is supposed to show the opposite spin of two electrons. It would be the fourth answer if the lines pointed towards one another and electrons moved that way.
