Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
Isnad refers to the chain of narrators or transmitters through whom a Hadith is reported back to the Prophet (SAW). It is also called the sanad. The text of the Hadith itself is called the matn, while the legal ruling derived from it is called hukm. Scholars used the isnad to verify the authenticity of a Hadith.
