B Correct answer
Explanation

Castling is impossible when the King is on d8 (which is its starting square in chess). For castling to be legal, neither the King nor the rook must have moved from their starting positions, and the King must not be in check, pass through check, or end in check. Since the King is on d8 (not its home square e8 or e1 for White), castling rules cannot apply.
