B Correct answer
Explanation

The CV-22 Osprey is NOT a jet aircraft - it's a tiltrotor aircraft that takes off and lands like a helicopter but flies like a fixed-wing aircraft. It uses turboprop engines with rotating proprotors, not jet engines. This unique design allows it to combine the vertical lift capability of a helicopter with the speed and range of a fixed-wing aircraft.
