Both A and B are correct since the sailing vessel is "stand on" when leeward of another sailing vessel.

Key word in the question is "must". The sailboat could tack and go astern of another sailboat without breaking a rule as well as ease sails and bear off. If being overtaken you should hold course until the other vessel is clear.
