Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
The pillars of Islam are five in number: Shahada (declaration of faith), Salat (prayer), Zakat (almsgiving), Sawm (fasting), and Hajj (pilgrimage). This is established in the famous hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) narrated by Ibn Umar in Sahih Bukhari. The other options are incorrect counts of the pillars.
