B Correct answer
Explanation

When the same data is served to desktop and mobile with only CSS changes, the best MVC approach is to use the same controllers and views but switch Razor layouts dynamically. This avoids code duplication while allowing device-specific styling through different layout files. Option A creates unnecessary duplication, option D duplicates views unnecessarily, and option C is not a viable solution.
