B Correct answer
Explanation

The sort command's +m.n option skips the first m fields, then skips n additional characters in the next field before sorting. This allows sorting to begin at a specific position within fields, ignoring leading characters or fields. The -k option (GNU sort extension) provides more flexible field specification.
