      It is B. You prepend the AS-path on prefixes toward B in order to set that AS-path longer.

      Shortest as-path is always prefered, so by doing so, incoming traffic will prefer ISP A.

    MED is wrong, because ISP A and ISP B have different ASN -s. In this case you have to prepend to influence the incomming traffic. The B is the correct answer.
