B Correct answer
Explanation

Ablution refers to the act of washing oneself, particularly for ritual or religious purposes, or more generally washing the body. 'Washing of the body' correctly captures this meaning as a noun phrase describing the cleansing action. The incorrect options use wrong prepositions (to, for) that don't properly describe what ablution is.
