B Correct answer
Explanation

Boomerang, when used figuratively, means to recoil upon the originator or have an opposite effect from what was intended. 'Recoil on the originator' is the exact meaning. Draw an arrow, cry aloud, and pull hard are unrelated to the concept of something returning to negatively affect its source.
