B Correct answer
Explanation

The 'no service config' command prevents the router from attempting to load a configuration file from the network (via TFTP) upon boot. Without this command, if no valid configuration is found in NVRAM, the router will broadcast for a configuration file on the network. With 'no service config', the router boots with the default configuration (or prompts for setup mode if NVRAM is empty).
