Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
The Shahadah follows a structure of negation (nafiy) followed by affirmation (ithbat). 'La ilaha' (there is no god) negates all false objects of worship and deities, while 'illallah' (except Allah) affirms the exclusive divinity of Allah. The second part of the Shahadah concerning Muhammad addresses prophethood, and the pillars of Islam are a separate matter.
