Answer:

C. Infinitely Many Solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

No solution case : This is the case when all given variables are not equal to any constant, for example: there is one row of zeros in matrix e.g 0=3. matrix B don't have any zero row. So, Not True.

One Solution case: This is the case when all variables are independent variables like if they are equal to some constant. e.g x=1,y=2,z=4 , Matrix B have more than one variable in first row due to which it made equation look like x+y=-5. so matrix B can't have only one solution. So, Not True.

Infinitely Many Solutions case: when there is one or more variables which is not equal to any constant and acting as linearly dependent variable, then that matrix have infinite solutions. Matrix B have that variable which is linearly dependent as show in the attachment solution. So, True.
