Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
According to 2 Samuel 5:1-3, after the assassination of Ish-bosheth (Saul's son who had been made king over Israel by Abner), all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and anointed him king over all Israel. The defeat of the Philistines and bringing the Ark came after his anointing as king over all Israel.
