The answer should be "A", the large cargo vessel is to portside.

Small vessels and sailing vessels are not required to avoid impeding the passage of all PDV of over 20 metres in length when in a narrow channel. Many PDV which exceed that length may be able to navigate outside the channel limits.

That would be true in a TSS, this is a narrow channel which makes the <20 the give way.
