B Correct answer
Explanation

Cavalry refers to soldiers on horseback as a collective group or military unit. Collective nouns can take either singular or plural verbs depending on context, but when referring to the soldiers themselves (not the unit as a whole), 'cavalry' takes the plural verb 'are.' This emphasizes the multiple individuals in the group.
