      @JackHuang. A is correct because Logistic regression gives the output for each target variable in terms of probability for 0 or 1. E.g. the output of a logistic regression looks like 0(0.974) 1(0.026). We then apply a rectifier logic on this regression output to get the actually binary classifier output as 0 or 1. In this case if rectification threshold is 0.5 or even 0.9, the output is 0, but if the system is very precise like 0.999, the output will still be 1.
