Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
Islamic Tawhid holds that Allah is absolutely one with no division, partners, or persons, as stated in Q112:1-4. The Christian doctrine of the Trinity holds that God exists as three persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) in one Godhead. The Qur'an explicitly rejects the Trinity in Q5:73, making these two doctrines fundamentally different and incompatible.
