B Correct answer
Explanation

The first ARPANET message was 'lo' - the system crashed after the first two letters 'lo' of 'login' were transmitted. This occurred in 1969 during the first ARPANET host-to-host communication between UCLA and Stanford Research Institute. 'Hello world' is a programming tradition, not a network message.
