B Correct answer
Explanation

This is a classic riddle playing on the phrase 'man-eating shark' - Jennifer wasn't afraid because it was a shark that eats men, not humans (or she's a man). The humor comes from taking the literal meaning of a commonly used phrase. 'Shark had no teeth' misses the wordplay, 'shark was scared' is illogical, and 'I don't know' is a surrender.
