B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'me' because it functions as the object of the preposition 'to'. In the sentence 'The victim turned out to be me,' 'me' is a predicate pronoun following the linking verb 'to be'. In formal grammar, the subject complement should be in the objective case when it refers to the object.
