B Correct answer
Explanation

Filesystem metadata primarily consists of inodes, which store file metadata like permissions, ownership, size, and timestamps. While the superblock and directory area are also part of filesystem structure, inodes are the core metadata objects that describe each file. The question asks specifically for the metadata area content, which is most accurately answered by "inodes".
