Why the answer is A, and why the others tempt you.
The Farewell Pilgrimage took place in 10 AH (632 CE) and was the only Hajj the Prophet performed after the Hijrah. During this pilgrimage, he delivered his famous Farewell Sermon (Khutbat al-Wada') on the plain of Arafat, addressing approximately 100,000 companions on human rights, equality, and the completion of the religion. Shortly after, Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:3) was revealed, declaring the completion of Islam.
