B Correct answer
Explanation

Butterflies are insects, and all insects have 6 legs by definition. The legs are attached to the thorax (middle body segment). Butterflies' legs may appear different or the front pair may be reduced, but they still possess 6 legs. 4 legs would be incorrect for any insect, and 8 legs is characteristic of arachnids like spiders.
