B Correct answer
Explanation

Rime refers to a type of frost that forms when water vapor freezes on surfaces, especially in freezing fog conditions. 'White frost' accurately describes this phenomenon. Retaliation means revenge, following means coming after, and wanton means reckless or excessive - none of these relate to rime.
